Speak<S>559</S> unto Rehoboam<S>7346</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>, king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and unto all the house<S>1004</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and Benjamin<S>1144</S>, and to the remnant<S>3499</S> of the people<S>5971</S>, saying<S>559</S>,

They listened therefore to the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and returned<S>7725</S> to depart<S>3212</S>, according to the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.

And Jeroboam<S>3379</S> said<S>559</S> in his heart<S>3820</S>, Now shall the kingdom<S>4467</S> return<S>7725</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of David<S>1732</S>:

And he set<S>7760</S> the one<S>259</S> in Beth<S>1008</S>–el, and the other<S>259</S> put<S>5414</S> he in Dan<S>1835</S>.


text:
And this thing<S>1697</S> became a sin<S>2403</S>: for the people<S>5971</S> went<S>3212</S> to worship before<S>6440</S> the one<S>259</S>, even unto Dan<S>1835</S>.


text:
And he made<S>6213</S> a house<S>1004</S> of high places<S>1116</S>, and made<S>6213</S> priests<S>3548</S> of the lowest<S>7098</S> of the people<S>5971</S>, which were not of the sons<S>1121</S> of Levi<S>3878</S>.

So did<S>6213</S> he in Beth<S>1008</S>–el, sacrificing<S>2076</S> unto the calves<S>5695</S> that he had made<S>6213</S>: and he placed<S>5975</S> in Beth<S>1008</S>–el the priests<S>3548</S> of the high places<S>1116</S> which he had made<S>6213</S>.

And he cried<S>7121</S> against the altar<S>4196</S> in the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, O altar<S>4196</S>, altar<S>4196</S>, thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>; Behold<S>1121</S>, a child shall be born<S>3205</S> unto the house<S>1004</S> of David<S>1732</S>, Josiah<S>2977</S> by name<S>8034</S>; and upon you shall he offer<S>2076</S> the priests<S>3548</S> of the high places<S>1116</S> that burn incense<S>6999</S> upon you<S>120</S>, and men's bones<S>6106</S> shall be burnt upon you<S>8313</S>.


text:
And he gave<S>5414</S> a sign<S>4159</S> the same day<S>3117</S>, saying<S>559</S>, This is the sign<S>4159</S> which the Lord<S>3068</S> has spoken<S>1696</S>; Behold<S>4196</S>, the altar shall be split<S>7167</S>, and the ashes<S>1880</S> that are upon it shall be poured out<S>8210</S>.

And it came to pass<S>4428</S>, when king Jeroboam<S>3379</S> heard<S>8085</S> the saying<S>1697</S> of the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, which had cried<S>7121</S> against the altar<S>4196</S> in Beth<S>1008</S>–el, that he put forth<S>7971</S> his hand<S>3027</S> from the altar<S>4196</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Lay hold<S>8610</S> on him<S>3027</S>. And his hand, which he put forth<S>7971</S> against him<S>3001</S>, dried up, so that he could<S>3201</S> not pull it in again to him<S>7725</S>.


text:
The altar<S>4196</S> also was split<S>7167</S>, and the ashes<S>1880</S> poured out<S>8210</S> from the altar<S>4196</S>, according to the sign<S>4159</S> which the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> had given<S>5414</S> by the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S> unto the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, Entreat<S>2470</S> now the face<S>6440</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>, and pray<S>6419</S> for me<S>3027</S>, that my hand may be restored me again<S>7725</S>. And the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> begged<S>2470</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, and the king<S>4428</S>'s hand<S>3027</S> was restored him again<S>7725</S>, and became as it was before<S>7223</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>1696</S> unto the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, Come<S>935</S> home<S>1004</S> with me<S>5582</S>, and refresh yourself<S>5414</S>, and I will give you a reward<S>4991</S>.


text:
And the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, If you will give<S>5414</S> me half<S>2677</S> your house<S>1004</S>, I will not go in<S>935</S> with you<S>398</S>, neither will I eat bread<S>3899</S> nor drink<S>8354</S> water<S>4325</S> in this place<S>4725</S>:


text:
For so was it commanded<S>6680</S> me by the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Eat<S>398</S> no bread<S>3899</S>, nor drink<S>8354</S> water<S>4325</S>, nor turn again<S>7725</S> by the same way<S>1870</S> that you came<S>1980</S>.


text:
So he went<S>3212</S> another<S>312</S> way<S>1870</S>, and returned<S>7725</S> not by the way<S>1870</S> that he came<S>935</S> to Beth<S>1008</S>–el.


text:
Now there lived<S>3427</S> an<S>259</S> old<S>2205</S> prophet<S>5030</S> in Beth<S>1008</S>–el; and his sons<S>1121</S> came<S>935</S> and told<S>5608</S> him all the works<S>4639</S> that the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> had done<S>6213</S> that day<S>3117</S> in Beth<S>1008</S>–el: the words<S>1697</S> which he had spoken<S>1696</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, them they told<S>5608</S> also to their father<S>1</S>.


text:
And their father<S>1</S> said<S>1696</S> unto them<S>1870</S>, What way went<S>1980</S> he<S>1121</S>? For his sons had seen<S>7200</S> what<S>335</S> way<S>1870</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> went<S>1980</S>, which came<S>935</S> from Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto his sons<S>1121</S>, Saddle<S>2280</S> me the donkey<S>2543</S>. So they saddled<S>2280</S> him the donkey<S>2543</S>: and he rode on it<S>7392</S>,


text:
And went<S>3212</S> after<S>310</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, and found<S>4672</S> him sitting<S>3427</S> under an oak<S>424</S>: and he said<S>559</S> unto him<S>376</S>, Are you the man of God<S>430</S> that came<S>935</S> from Judah<S>3063</S>? And he said<S>559</S>, I am.


text:
Then he said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3212</S>, Come home<S>1004</S> with me<S>398</S>, and eat bread<S>3899</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, I may<S>3201</S> not return<S>7725</S> with you<S>935</S>, nor go in with you<S>398</S>: neither will I eat bread<S>3899</S> nor drink<S>8354</S> water<S>4325</S> with you in this place<S>4725</S>:


text:
For it was said<S>1697</S> to me by the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, You shall eat<S>398</S> no bread<S>3899</S> nor drink<S>8354</S> water<S>4325</S> there<S>7725</S>, nor turn again to go<S>3212</S> by the way<S>1870</S> that you came<S>1980</S>.


text:
He said<S>559</S> unto him<S>5030</S>, I am a prophet also as you are<S>4397</S>; and an angel spoke<S>1696</S> unto me by the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Bring him back<S>7725</S> with you into your house<S>1004</S>, that he may eat<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S> and drink<S>8354</S> water<S>4325</S>. But he lied unto him<S>3584</S>.


text:
So he went back<S>7725</S> with him<S>398</S>, and did eat bread<S>3899</S> in his house<S>1004</S>, and drank<S>8354</S> water<S>4325</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>3427</S>, as they sat at the table<S>7979</S>, that the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> came unto the prophet<S>5030</S> that brought him back<S>7725</S>:


text:
And he cried<S>7121</S> unto the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> that came<S>935</S> from Judah<S>3063</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, Forasmuch as<S>3282</S> you have disobeyed<S>4784</S> the mouth<S>6310</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and have not kept<S>8104</S> the commandment<S>4687</S> which the Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S> commanded you<S>6680</S>,


text:
But came back<S>7725</S>, and have eaten<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S> and drunk<S>8354</S> water<S>4325</S> in the place<S>4725</S>, of the which the Lord did say<S>1696</S> to you<S>398</S>, Eat no bread<S>3899</S>, and drink<S>8354</S> no water<S>4325</S>; your carcass<S>5038</S> shall not come<S>935</S> unto the tomb<S>6913</S> of your fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>310</S>, after he had eaten<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S>, and after<S>310</S> he had drunk<S>8354</S>, that he saddled<S>2280</S> for him the donkey<S>2543</S>, to know<S>5030</S>, for the prophet whom he had brought back<S>7725</S>.


text:
And when he was gone<S>3212</S>, a lion<S>738</S> met<S>4672</S> him by the way<S>1870</S>, and killed<S>4191</S> him<S>5038</S>: and his carcass was cast<S>7993</S> in the way<S>1870</S>, and the donkey<S>2543</S> stood<S>5975</S> by<S>681</S> it<S>738</S>, the lion also stood<S>5975</S> by the carcass<S>5038</S>.


text:
And<S>582</S>, behold, men passed by<S>5674</S>, and saw<S>7200</S> the carcass<S>5038</S> cast<S>7993</S> in the way<S>1870</S>, and the lion<S>738</S> standing<S>5975</S> by<S>681</S> the carcass<S>5038</S>: and they came<S>935</S> and told<S>1696</S> it in the city<S>5892</S> where the old<S>2205</S> prophet<S>5030</S> lived<S>3427</S>.


text:
And when the prophet<S>5030</S> that brought him back<S>7725</S> from the way<S>1870</S> heard<S>8085</S> there<S>559</S>, he said, It is the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, who was disobedient<S>4784</S> unto the word<S>6310</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>: therefore the Lord<S>3068</S> has delivered<S>5414</S> him unto the lion<S>738</S>, which has torn<S>7665</S> him<S>4191</S>, and slain him<S>1697</S>, according to the word of the Lord<S>3068</S>, which he spoke unto him<S>1696</S>.


text:
And he spoke<S>1696</S> to his sons<S>1121</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Saddle<S>2280</S> me the donkey<S>2543</S>. And they saddled him<S>2280</S>.


text:
And he went<S>3212</S> and found<S>4672</S> his carcass<S>5038</S> cast<S>7993</S> in the way<S>1870</S>, and the donkey<S>2543</S> and the lion<S>738</S> standing<S>5975</S> by<S>681</S> the carcass<S>5038</S>: the lion<S>738</S> had not eaten<S>398</S> the carcass<S>5038</S>, nor torn<S>7665</S> the donkey<S>2543</S>.


text:
And the prophet<S>5030</S> took up<S>5375</S> the carcass<S>5038</S> of the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, and laid<S>3240</S> it upon the donkey<S>2543</S>, and brought it back<S>7725</S>: and the old<S>2205</S> prophet<S>5030</S> came<S>935</S> to the city<S>5892</S>, to mourn<S>5594</S> and to bury him<S>6912</S>.


text:
And he laid<S>3240</S> his carcass<S>5038</S> in his own grave<S>6913</S>; and they mourned<S>5594</S> over him<S>1945</S>, saying, Alas, my brother<S>251</S>!


text:
And it came to pass<S>310</S>, after he had buried<S>6912</S> him<S>559</S>, that he spoke to his sons<S>1121</S>, saying<S>559</S>, When I am dead<S>4191</S>, then bury<S>6912</S> me in the tomb<S>6913</S> where the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> is buried<S>6912</S>; lay<S>3240</S> my bones<S>6106</S> beside<S>681</S> his bones<S>6106</S>:


text:
For the saying<S>1697</S> which he cried<S>7121</S> by the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> against the altar<S>4196</S> in Beth<S>1008</S>–el, and against all the houses<S>1004</S> of the high places<S>1116</S> which are in the cities<S>5892</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>, shall surely come to pass.


text:
After<S>310</S> this thing<S>1697</S> Jeroboam<S>3379</S> returned<S>7725</S> not from his evil<S>7451</S> way<S>1870</S>, but made<S>6213</S> again<S>7725</S> of the lowest<S>7098</S> of the people<S>5971</S> priests<S>3548</S> of the high places<S>1116</S>: whoever would<S>2655</S>, he consecrated<S>4390</S> him<S>3548</S>, and he became one of the priests of the high places<S>1116</S>.


text:
And this thing<S>1697</S> became sin<S>2403</S> unto the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, even to cut it off<S>3582</S>, and to destroy<S>8045</S> it from off the face<S>6440</S> of the earth<S>127</S>.


text:
At that time<S>6256</S> Abijah<S>29</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> fell sick<S>2470</S>.


text:
And Jeroboam<S>3379</S> said<S>559</S> to his wife<S>802</S>, Arise<S>6965</S>, I pray you<S>8138</S>, and disguise yourself<S>3045</S>, that you be not known to be the wife<S>802</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>; and get<S>1980</S> you to Shiloh<S>7887</S>: behold<S>281</S>, there is Ahijah the prophet<S>5030</S>, which told<S>1696</S> me that I should be king<S>4428</S> over this people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And take<S>3947</S> with you<S>3027</S> ten<S>6235</S> loaves<S>3899</S>, and cakes<S>5350</S>, and a jar<S>1228</S> of honey<S>1706</S>, and go<S>935</S> to him<S>5046</S>: he shall tell you what shall become of the child<S>5288</S>.


text:
And Jeroboam<S>3379</S>'s wife<S>802</S> did so<S>6213</S>, and arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Shiloh<S>7887</S>, and came<S>935</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of Ahijah<S>281</S>. But Ahijah<S>281</S> could<S>3201</S> not see<S>7200</S>; for his eyes<S>5869</S> were set<S>6965</S> by reason of his age<S>7869</S>.

And the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto Ahijah<S>281</S>, Behold<S>802</S>, the wife of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> comes<S>935</S> to ask<S>1875</S> a thing<S>1697</S> of you for her son<S>1121</S>; for he is sick<S>2470</S>: thus<S>2090</S> and thus shall you say<S>1696</S> unto her<S>935</S>: for it shall be, when she comes in, that she shall pretend herself to be another woman<S>5234</S>.


text:
And it was so<S>281</S>, when Ahijah heard<S>8085</S> the sound<S>6963</S> of her feet<S>7272</S>, as she came in<S>935</S> at the door<S>6607</S>, that he said<S>559</S>, Come in<S>935</S>, you wife<S>802</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>; why pretend you yourself to be another<S>5234</S>? for I am sent<S>7971</S> to you with heavy news<S>7186</S>.


text:
Go<S>3212</S>, tell<S>559</S> Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, Thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Forasmuch as<S>3282</S> I exalted<S>7311</S> you from among<S>8432</S> the people<S>5971</S>, and made<S>5414</S> you prince<S>5057</S> over my people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>,


text:
And tore<S>7167</S> the kingdom<S>4467</S> away<S>7167</S> from the house<S>1004</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> it you<S>5650</S>: and yet you have not been as my servant David<S>1732</S>, who kept<S>8104</S> my commandments<S>4687</S>, and who followed<S>1980</S> me with all his heart<S>3824</S>, to do<S>6213</S> that only which was right<S>3477</S> in my eyes<S>5869</S>;


text:
But have done<S>6213</S> evil<S>7489</S> above all that were before<S>6440</S> you<S>3212</S>: for you have gone and made<S>6213</S> you other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>, and molten images<S>4541</S>, to provoke me to anger<S>3707</S>, and have cast<S>7993</S> me behind<S>310</S> your back<S>1458</S>:


text:
Therefore<S>935</S>, behold, I will bring evil<S>7451</S> upon the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, and will cut off<S>3772</S> from Jeroboam<S>3379</S> him that urinates<S>8366</S> against the wall<S>7023</S>, and him that is shut up<S>6113</S> and left<S>5800</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>, and will take away<S>1197</S> the remnant<S>310</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, as a man takes away<S>1197</S> dung<S>1557</S>, until it be all gone<S>8552</S>.


text:
Him that dies<S>4191</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> in the city<S>5892</S> shall the dogs<S>3611</S> eat<S>398</S>; and him that dies<S>4191</S> in the field<S>7704</S> shall the birds<S>5775</S> of the air<S>8064</S> eat<S>398</S>: for the Lord<S>3068</S> has spoken it<S>1696</S>.


text:
Arise<S>6965</S> you therefore<S>3212</S>, get you to your own house<S>1004</S>: and when your feet<S>7272</S> enter<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>, the child<S>3206</S> shall die<S>4191</S>.


text:
And all Israel<S>3478</S> shall mourn<S>5594</S> for him<S>6912</S>, and bury him<S>3379</S>: for he only of Jeroboam shall come<S>935</S> to the grave<S>6913</S>, because in him there is found<S>4672</S> some good<S>2896</S> thing<S>1697</S> toward the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>.


text:
Moreover the Lord<S>3068</S> shall raise him up<S>6965</S> a king<S>4428</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>, who shall cut off<S>3772</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> that day<S>3117</S>: but what? even now.


text:
For the Lord<S>3068</S> shall strike<S>5221</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, as a reed<S>7070</S> is shaken<S>5110</S> in the water<S>4325</S>, and he shall root up<S>5428</S> Israel<S>3478</S> out of this good<S>2896</S> land<S>127</S>, which he gave<S>5414</S> to their fathers<S>1</S>, and shall scatter<S>2219</S> them beyond<S>5676</S> the river<S>5104</S>, because they have made<S>6213</S> their groves<S>842</S>, provoking the Lord<S>3068</S> to anger<S>3707</S>.


text:
And he shall give<S>5414</S> Israel<S>3478</S> up<S>5414</S> because<S>1558</S> of the sins<S>2403</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, who did sin<S>2398</S>, and who made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>.


text:
And Jeroboam<S>3379</S>'s wife<S>802</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and departed<S>3212</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Tirzah<S>8656</S>: and when she came<S>935</S> to the threshold<S>5592</S> of the door<S>1004</S>, the child<S>5288</S> died<S>4191</S>;


text:
And they buried<S>6912</S> him<S>3478</S>; and all Israel mourned<S>5594</S> for him<S>1697</S>, according to the word of the Lord<S>3068</S>, which he spoke<S>1696</S> by the hand<S>3027</S> of his servant<S>5650</S> Ahijah<S>281</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>.


text:
And the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, how he warred<S>3898</S>, and how he reigned<S>4427</S>, behold<S>3789</S>, they are written in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And the days<S>3117</S> which Jeroboam<S>3379</S> reigned<S>4427</S> were two<S>8147</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S>: and he slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and Nadab<S>5070</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his stead<S>4427</S>.


text:
And Rehoboam<S>7346</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S> reigned<S>4427</S> in Judah<S>3063</S>. Rehoboam<S>7346</S> was forty<S>705</S> and one<S>259</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>, and he reigned<S>4427</S> seventeen<S>7651</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, the city<S>5892</S> which the Lord<S>3068</S> did choose<S>977</S> out of all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, to put<S>7760</S> his name<S>8034</S> there<S>517</S>. And his mother's name<S>8034</S> was Naamah<S>5279</S> an Ammonitess<S>5985</S>.


text:
And Judah<S>3063</S> did<S>6213</S> evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and they provoked him to jealousy<S>7065</S> with their sins<S>2403</S> which they had committed<S>2398</S>, above all that their fathers<S>1</S> had done<S>6213</S>.


text:
For they also built<S>1129</S> them high places<S>1116</S>, and images<S>4676</S>, and groves<S>842</S>, on every high<S>1364</S> hill<S>1389</S>, and under every green<S>7488</S> tree<S>6086</S>.


text:
And there were also sodomites<S>6945</S> in the land<S>776</S>: and they did<S>6213</S> according to all the abominations<S>8441</S> of the nations<S>1471</S> which the Lord<S>3068</S> cast out<S>3423</S> before<S>6440</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And it came to pass in the fifth<S>2549</S> year<S>8141</S> of king<S>4428</S> Rehoboam<S>7346</S>, that Shishak<S>7895</S> king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> came up<S>5927</S> against Jerusalem<S>3389</S>:


text:
And he took away<S>3947</S> the treasures<S>214</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and the treasures<S>214</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>; he even took away<S>3947</S> all<S>3947</S>: and he took away all the shields<S>4043</S> of gold<S>2091</S> which Solomon<S>8010</S> had made<S>6213</S>.


text:
And king<S>4428</S> Rehoboam<S>7346</S> made<S>6213</S> in their stead bronze<S>5178</S> shields<S>4043</S>, and committed<S>6485</S> them unto the hands<S>3027</S> of the chief<S>8269</S> of the guard<S>7323</S>, which kept<S>8104</S> the door<S>6607</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And it was so<S>1767</S>, when the king<S>4428</S> went<S>935</S> into the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, that the guard<S>7323</S> bore<S>5375</S> them<S>7725</S>, and brought them back into the guard<S>7323</S> chamber<S>8372</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Rehoboam<S>7346</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>?


text:
And there was war<S>4421</S> between Rehoboam<S>7346</S> and Jeroboam<S>3379</S> all their days<S>3117</S>.


text:
And Rehoboam<S>7346</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> with his fathers<S>1</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>. And his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Naamah<S>5279</S> an Ammonitess<S>5985</S>. And Abijam<S>38</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his stead<S>4427</S>.


text:
Now in the eighteenth<S>8083</S> year<S>8141</S> of king<S>4428</S> Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S> reigned<S>4427</S> Abijam<S>38</S> over Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
Three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S> reigned<S>4427</S> he in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. And his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Maachah<S>4601</S>, the daughter<S>1323</S> of Abishalom<S>53</S>.


text:
And he walked<S>3212</S> in all the sins<S>2403</S> of his father<S>1</S>, which he had done<S>6213</S> before<S>6440</S> him<S>3824</S>: and his heart was not perfect<S>8003</S> with the Lord<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S>, as the heart<S>3824</S> of David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>.


text:
Nevertheless for David<S>1732</S>'s sake did the Lord<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S> give<S>5414</S> him a lamp<S>5216</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, to set up<S>6965</S> his son<S>1121</S> after<S>310</S> him<S>5975</S>, and to establish Jerusalem<S>3389</S>:


text:
Because David<S>1732</S> did<S>6213</S> that which was right<S>3477</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and turned not aside<S>5493</S> from any thing that he commanded<S>6680</S> him all the days<S>3117</S> of his life<S>2416</S>, save only in the matter<S>1697</S> of Uriah<S>223</S> the Hittite<S>2850</S>.


text:
And there was war<S>4421</S> between Rehoboam<S>7346</S> and Jeroboam<S>3379</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of his life<S>2416</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Abijam<S>38</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>? And there was war<S>4421</S> between Abijam<S>38</S> and Jeroboam<S>3379</S>.


text:
And Abijam<S>38</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>; and they buried<S>6912</S> him in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>: and Asa<S>609</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his stead<S>4427</S>.


text:
And in the twentieth<S>6242</S> year<S>8141</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> reigned<S>4427</S> Asa<S>609</S> over Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
And forty<S>705</S> and one<S>259</S> years<S>8141</S> reigned<S>4427</S> he in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. And his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Maachah<S>4601</S>, the daughter<S>1323</S> of Abishalom<S>53</S>.


text:
And Asa<S>609</S> did<S>6213</S> that which was right<S>3477</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, as did David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>.


text:
And he took away<S>5674</S> the sodomites<S>6945</S> out of the land<S>776</S>, and removed<S>5493</S> all the idols<S>1544</S> that his fathers<S>1</S> had made<S>6213</S>.


text:
And also Maachah<S>4601</S> his mother<S>517</S>, even her he removed<S>5493</S> from being queen<S>1377</S>, because she had made<S>6213</S> an idol<S>4656</S> in a grove<S>842</S>; and Asa<S>609</S> destroyed<S>3772</S> her idol<S>4656</S>, and burnt<S>8313</S> it by the brook<S>5158</S> Kidron<S>6939</S>.


text:
But the high places<S>1116</S> were not removed<S>5493</S>: nevertheless Asa<S>609</S>'s heart<S>3824</S> was perfect<S>8003</S> with the Lord<S>3068</S> all his days<S>3117</S>.


text:
And he brought<S>935</S> in the things<S>6944</S> which his father<S>1</S> had dedicated<S>6944</S>, and the things which himself had dedicated<S>6944</S>, into the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, silver<S>3701</S>, and gold<S>2091</S>, and vessels<S>3627</S>.


text:
And there was war<S>4421</S> between Asa<S>609</S> and Baasha<S>1201</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> all their days<S>3117</S>.


text:
And Baasha<S>1201</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went up<S>5927</S> against Judah<S>3063</S>, and built<S>1129</S> Ramah<S>7414</S>, that he might not allow<S>5414</S> any to go out<S>3318</S> or come in<S>935</S> to Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
Then Asa<S>609</S> took<S>3947</S> all the silver<S>3701</S> and the gold<S>2091</S> that were left<S>3498</S> in the treasures<S>214</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and the treasures<S>214</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and delivered<S>5414</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of his servants<S>5650</S>: and king<S>4428</S> Asa<S>609</S> sent<S>7971</S> them to Ben<S>1130</S>–hadad, the son<S>1121</S> of Tabrimon<S>2886</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Hezion<S>2383</S>, king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>, that lived<S>3427</S> at Damascus<S>1834</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
There is a covenant<S>1285</S> between me and you<S>1</S>, and between my father and your father<S>1</S>: behold<S>7971</S>, I have sent unto you a present<S>7810</S> of silver<S>3701</S> and gold<S>2091</S>; come<S>3212</S> and break<S>6565</S> your covenant<S>1285</S> with Baasha<S>1201</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, that he may depart from me<S>5927</S>.


text:
So Ben<S>1130</S>–hadad listened<S>8085</S> unto king<S>4428</S> Asa<S>609</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> the captains<S>8269</S> of the hosts<S>2428</S> which he had against the cities<S>5892</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> Ijon<S>5859</S>, and Dan<S>1835</S>, and Abel<S>62</S>–beth–maachah, and all Cinneroth<S>3672</S>, with all the land<S>776</S> of Naphtali<S>5321</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>1201</S>, when Baasha heard<S>8085</S> there<S>2308</S>, that he left off building<S>1129</S> of Ramah<S>7414</S>, and lived<S>3427</S> in Tirzah<S>8656</S>.


text:
Then king<S>4428</S> Asa<S>609</S> made a proclamation<S>8085</S> throughout all Judah<S>3063</S>; none was exempted<S>5355</S>: and they took<S>5375</S> away the stones<S>68</S> of Ramah<S>7414</S>, and the timber<S>6086</S> there<S>1201</S>, with which Baasha had built<S>1129</S>; and king<S>4428</S> Asa<S>609</S> built<S>1129</S> with them Geba<S>1387</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>, and Mizpah<S>4709</S>.


text:
The rest<S>3499</S> of all the acts<S>1697</S> of Asa<S>609</S>, and all his might<S>1369</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, and the cities<S>5892</S> which he built<S>1129</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>? Nevertheless in the time<S>6256</S> of his old age<S>2209</S> he was diseased<S>2470</S> in his feet<S>7272</S>.


text:
And Asa<S>609</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> with his fathers<S>1</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>: and Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his stead<S>4427</S>.


text:
And Nadab<S>5070</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> began to reign<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> in the second<S>8147</S> year<S>8141</S> of Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and reigned<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S>.

And he did<S>6213</S> evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and walked<S>3212</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of his father<S>1</S>, and in his sin<S>2403</S> with which he made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>.


text:
And Baasha<S>1201</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahijah<S>281</S>, of the house<S>1004</S> of Issachar<S>3485</S>, conspired<S>7194</S> against him<S>1201</S>; and Baasha struck<S>5221</S> him at Gibbethon<S>1405</S>, which belonged to the Philistines<S>6430</S>; for Nadab<S>5070</S> and all Israel<S>3478</S> laid siege<S>6696</S> to Gibbethon<S>1405</S>.


text:
Even in the third<S>7969</S> year<S>8141</S> of Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> did Baasha<S>1201</S> kill<S>4191</S> him<S>4427</S>, and reigned in his stead.


text:
And it came to pass<S>4427</S>, when he reigned, that he struck<S>5221</S> all the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>; he left<S>7604</S> not to Jeroboam<S>3379</S> any that breathed<S>5397</S>, until he had destroyed<S>8045</S> him<S>1697</S>, according unto the saying of the Lord<S>3068</S>, which he spoke<S>1696</S> by<S>3027</S> his servant<S>5650</S> Ahijah<S>281</S> the Shilonite<S>7888</S>:


text:
Because of the sins<S>2403</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> which he sinned<S>2398</S>, and which he made Israel<S>3478</S> sin<S>2398</S>, by his provocation<S>3708</S> with which he provoked the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> to anger<S>3707</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Nadab<S>5070</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
In the third<S>7969</S> year<S>8141</S> of Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> began Baasha<S>1201</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahijah<S>281</S> to reign<S>4427</S> over all Israel<S>3478</S> in Tirzah<S>8656</S>, twenty<S>6242</S> and four<S>702</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And he did<S>6213</S> evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and walked<S>3212</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, and in his sin<S>2403</S> with which he made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>.


text:
Then the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> came to Jehu<S>3058</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Hanani<S>2607</S> against Baasha<S>1201</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
Forasmuch as I exalted<S>7311</S> you out of the dust<S>6083</S>, and made<S>5414</S> you prince<S>5057</S> over my people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>; and you have walked<S>3212</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, and have made my people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>, to provoke me to anger<S>3707</S> with their sins<S>2403</S>;


text:
Behold<S>1197</S>, I will take away the posterity<S>310</S> of Baasha<S>1201</S>, and the posterity<S>310</S> of his house<S>1004</S>; and will make<S>5414</S> your house<S>1004</S> like the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>.


text:
Him that dies<S>4191</S> of Baasha<S>1201</S> in the city<S>5892</S> shall the dogs<S>3611</S> eat<S>398</S>; and him that dies<S>4191</S> of his in the fields<S>7704</S> shall the birds<S>5775</S> of the air<S>8064</S> eat<S>398</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Baasha<S>1201</S>, and what he did<S>6213</S>, and his might<S>1369</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
So Baasha<S>1201</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> in Tirzah<S>8656</S>: and Elah<S>425</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his stead<S>4427</S>.


text:
And also by the hand<S>3027</S> of the prophet<S>5030</S> Jehu<S>3058</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Hanani<S>2607</S> came the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> against Baasha<S>1201</S>, and against his house<S>1004</S>, even for all the evil<S>7451</S> that he did<S>6213</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, in provoking him to anger<S>3707</S> with the work<S>4639</S> of his hands<S>3027</S>, in being like the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>; and because he killed him<S>5221</S>.


text:
In the twenty<S>6242</S> and sixth<S>8337</S> year<S>8141</S> of Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> began Elah<S>425</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Baasha<S>1201</S> to reign<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> in Tirzah<S>8656</S>, two years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And his servant<S>5650</S> Zimri<S>2174</S>, captain<S>8269</S> of half<S>4276</S> his chariots<S>7393</S>, conspired<S>7194</S> against him<S>8656</S>, as he was in Tirzah, drinking<S>8354</S> himself drunk<S>7910</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Arza<S>777</S> steward of his house<S>1004</S> in Tirzah<S>8656</S>.


text:
And Zimri<S>2174</S> went in<S>935</S> and struck<S>5221</S> him<S>4191</S>, and killed him<S>6242</S>, in the twenty and seventh<S>7651</S> year<S>8141</S> of Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and reigned in his stead<S>4427</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>4427</S>, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat<S>3427</S> on his throne<S>3678</S>, that he killed<S>5221</S> all the house<S>1004</S> of Baasha<S>1201</S>: he left<S>7604</S> him not one that urinates<S>8366</S> against a wall<S>7023</S>, neither of his kinsfolks<S>1350</S>, nor of his friends<S>7453</S>.


text:
Thus did Zimri<S>2174</S> destroy<S>8045</S> all the house<S>1004</S> of Baasha<S>1201</S>, according to the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, which he spoke<S>1696</S> against Baasha<S>1201</S> by<S>3027</S> Jehu<S>3058</S> the prophet<S>5030</S>,


text:
For all the sins<S>2403</S> of Baasha<S>1201</S>, and the sins<S>2403</S> of Elah<S>425</S> his son<S>1121</S>, by which they sinned<S>2398</S>, and by which they made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>, in provoking the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> to anger<S>3707</S> with their vanities<S>1892</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Elah<S>425</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?

In the twenty<S>6242</S> and seventh<S>7651</S> year<S>8141</S> of Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> did Zimri<S>2174</S> reign<S>4427</S> seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S> in Tirzah<S>8656</S>. And the people<S>5971</S> were encamped<S>2583</S> against Gibbethon<S>1405</S>, which belonged to the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
And the people<S>5971</S> that were encamped<S>2583</S> heard<S>8085</S> say<S>559</S>, Zimri<S>2174</S> has conspired<S>7194</S>, and has also slain<S>5221</S> the king<S>4428</S>: why all Israel<S>3478</S> made Omri<S>6018</S>, the captain<S>8269</S> of the army<S>6635</S>, king<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> that day<S>3117</S> in the camp<S>4264</S>.


text:
And Omri<S>6018</S> went up<S>5927</S> from Gibbethon<S>1405</S>, and all Israel<S>3478</S> with him<S>6696</S>, and they besieged Tirzah<S>8656</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>2174</S>, when Zimri saw<S>7200</S> that the city<S>5892</S> was taken<S>3920</S>, that he went<S>935</S> into the palace<S>759</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and burnt<S>8313</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S> over him with fire<S>784</S>, and died<S>4191</S>,


text:
For his sins<S>2403</S> which he sinned<S>2398</S> in doing<S>6213</S> evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, in walking<S>3212</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S>, and in his sin<S>2403</S> which he did<S>6213</S>, to make Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Zimri<S>2174</S>, and his treason<S>7195</S> that he worked<S>7194</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
Then were the people<S>5971</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> divided<S>2505</S> into two parts<S>2677</S>: half<S>2677</S> of the people<S>5971</S> followed<S>1961</S> Tibni<S>8402</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ginath<S>1527</S>, to make him king<S>4427</S>; and half<S>2677</S> followed<S>310</S> Omri<S>6018</S>.


text:
But the people<S>5971</S> that followed<S>310</S> Omri<S>6018</S> prevailed<S>2388</S> against<S>854</S> the people<S>5971</S> that followed<S>310</S> Tibni<S>8402</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ginath<S>1527</S>: so Tibni<S>8402</S> died<S>4191</S>, and Omri<S>6018</S> reigned<S>4427</S>.


text:
In the thirty<S>7970</S> and first<S>259</S> year<S>8141</S> of Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> began Omri<S>6018</S> to reign<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>, twelve<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S>: six<S>8337</S> years<S>8141</S> reigned<S>4427</S> he in Tirzah<S>8656</S>.


text:
And he bought<S>7069</S> the hill<S>2022</S> Samaria<S>8111</S> of Shemer<S>8106</S> for two talents<S>3603</S> of silver<S>3701</S>, and built<S>1129</S> on the hill<S>2022</S>, and called<S>7121</S> the name<S>8034</S> of the city<S>5892</S> which he built<S>1129</S>, after the name<S>8034</S> of Shemer<S>8106</S>, owner<S>113</S> of the hill<S>2022</S>, Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
But Omri<S>6018</S> worked<S>6213</S> evil<S>7451</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and did worse<S>7489</S> than all that were before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
For he walked<S>3212</S> in all the way<S>1870</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, and in his sin<S>2403</S> with which he made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>, to provoke the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> to anger<S>3707</S> with their vanities<S>1892</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Omri<S>6018</S> which he did<S>6213</S>, and his might<S>1369</S> that he showed<S>6213</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?

So Omri<S>6018</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S>: and Ahab<S>256</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his stead<S>4427</S>.


text:
And in the thirty<S>7970</S> and eighth<S>8083</S> year<S>8141</S> of Asa<S>609</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> began Ahab<S>256</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Omri<S>6018</S> to reign<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>: and Ahab<S>256</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Omri<S>6018</S> reigned<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S> twenty<S>6242</S> and two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S>.


text:
And Ahab<S>256</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Omri<S>6018</S> did<S>6213</S> evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> above all that were before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>7043</S>, as if it had been a window thing for him to walk<S>3212</S> in the sins<S>2403</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, that he took<S>3947</S> to wife<S>802</S> Jezebel<S>348</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Ethbaal<S>856</S> king<S>4428</S> of the Zidonians<S>6722</S>, and went<S>3212</S> and served<S>5647</S> Baal<S>1168</S>, and worshiped him<S>7812</S>.


text:
And he reared up<S>6965</S> an altar<S>4196</S> for Baal<S>1168</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>, which he had built<S>1129</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
And Ahab<S>256</S> made<S>6213</S> a grove<S>842</S>; and Ahab<S>256</S> did<S>6213</S> more<S>3254</S> to provoke the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> to anger<S>3707</S> than all the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> that were before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
In his days<S>3117</S> did Hiel<S>2419</S> the Beth<S>1017</S>–elite build<S>1129</S> Jericho<S>3405</S>: he laid the foundation<S>3245</S> there in Abiram<S>48</S> his firstborn<S>1060</S>, and set up<S>5324</S> the gates<S>1817</S> there in his youngest<S>6810</S> son Segub<S>7687</S>, according to the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, which he spoke<S>1696</S> by<S>3027</S> Joshua<S>3091</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nun<S>5126</S>.


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> the Tishbite<S>8664</S>, who was of the inhabitants<S>8453</S> of Gilead<S>1568</S>, said<S>559</S> unto Ahab<S>256</S>, As the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> lives<S>2416</S>, before<S>6440</S> whom I stand<S>5975</S>, there shall not be dew<S>2919</S> nor rain<S>4306</S> these years<S>8141</S>, but according<S>6310</S> to my word<S>1697</S>.


text:
Get<S>3212</S> you here<S>6437</S>, and turn you eastward<S>6924</S>, and hide<S>5641</S> yourself by the brook<S>5158</S> Cherith<S>3747</S>, that is before<S>6440</S> Jordan<S>3383</S>.


text:
And it shall be<S>8354</S>, that you shall drink of the brook<S>5158</S>; and I have commanded<S>6680</S> the ravens<S>6158</S> to feed you there<S>3557</S>.


text:
So he went<S>3212</S> and did<S>6213</S> according unto the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>: for he went<S>3212</S> and lived<S>3427</S> by the brook<S>5158</S> Cherith<S>3747</S>, that is before<S>6440</S> Jordan<S>3383</S>.


text:
And the ravens<S>6158</S> brought<S>935</S> him bread<S>3899</S> and flesh<S>1320</S> in the morning<S>1242</S>, and bread<S>3899</S> and flesh<S>1320</S> in the evening<S>6153</S>; and he drank<S>8354</S> of the brook<S>5158</S>.


text:
And it came to pass after<S>7093</S> a while<S>3117</S>, that the brook<S>5158</S> dried up<S>3001</S>, because there had been no rain<S>1653</S> in the land<S>776</S>.


text:
Arise<S>6965</S>, get<S>3212</S> you to Zarephath<S>6886</S>, which belongs to Zidon<S>6721</S>, and live<S>3427</S> there<S>6680</S>: behold, I have commanded a widow<S>490</S> woman<S>802</S> there to sustain you<S>3557</S>.


text:
So he arose<S>6965</S> and went<S>3212</S> to Zarephath<S>6886</S>. And when he came<S>935</S> to the gate<S>6607</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, behold<S>490</S>, the widow woman<S>802</S> was there gathering<S>7197</S> of sticks<S>6086</S>: and he called<S>7121</S> to her<S>559</S>, and said, Fetch<S>3947</S> me<S>4592</S>, I pray you, a little water<S>4325</S> in a vessel<S>3627</S>, that I may drink<S>8354</S>.


text:
And as she was going<S>3212</S> to fetch<S>3947</S> it<S>7121</S>, he called to her<S>559</S>, and said, Bring<S>3947</S> me<S>6595</S>, I pray you, a morsel of bread<S>3899</S> in your hand<S>3027</S>.

And she said<S>559</S>, As the Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S> lives<S>2416</S>, I have<S>3426</S> not a cake<S>4580</S>, but an handful<S>4393</S> of meal<S>7058</S> in a barrel<S>3537</S>, and a little<S>4592</S> oil<S>8081</S> in a jar<S>6835</S>: and<S>7197</S>, behold, I am gathering two<S>8147</S> sticks<S>6086</S>, that I may go in<S>935</S> and dress<S>6213</S> it for me and my son<S>1121</S>, that we may eat<S>398</S> it<S>4191</S>, and die.


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> unto her<S>3372</S>, Fear not<S>935</S>; go and do<S>6213</S> as you have said<S>1697</S>: but make<S>6213</S> me there<S>8033</S> a little<S>6996</S> cake<S>5692</S> first<S>7223</S>, and bring<S>3318</S> it unto me<S>314</S>, and after make<S>6213</S> for you and for your son<S>1121</S>.


text:
For thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, The barrel<S>3537</S> of meal<S>7058</S> shall not waste<S>3615</S>, neither shall the jar<S>6835</S> of oil<S>8081</S> fail<S>2637</S>, until the day<S>3117</S> that the Lord<S>3068</S> sends<S>5414</S> rain<S>1653</S> upon<S>6440</S> the earth<S>127</S>.


text:
And she went<S>3212</S> and did<S>6213</S> according to the saying<S>1697</S> of Elijah<S>452</S>: and she<S>1004</S>, and he, and her house, did eat<S>398</S> many days<S>3117</S>.


text:
And the barrel<S>3537</S> of meal<S>7058</S> wasted<S>3615</S> not<S>6835</S>, neither did the jar of oil<S>8081</S> fail<S>2638</S>, according to the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, which he spoke<S>1696</S> by<S>3027</S> Elijah<S>452</S>.


text:
And it came to pass after<S>310</S> these things<S>1697</S>, that the son<S>1121</S> of the woman<S>802</S>, the mistress<S>1172</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, fell sick<S>2470</S>; and his sickness<S>2483</S> was so<S>3966</S> severe<S>2389</S>, that there was no breath<S>5397</S> left in him<S>3498</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S> unto Elijah<S>452</S>, What have I to do with you<S>376</S>, O you man of God<S>430</S>? are you come<S>935</S> unto me to call<S>2142</S> my sin<S>5771</S> to memory<S>2142</S>, and to kill<S>4191</S> my son<S>1121</S>?


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto her<S>5414</S>, Give me your son<S>1121</S>. And he took<S>3947</S> him out of her bosom<S>2436</S>, and carried him up<S>5927</S> into a loft<S>5944</S>, where he lived<S>3427</S>, and laid<S>7901</S> him upon his own bed<S>4296</S>.


text:
And he cried<S>7121</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, O Lord<S>3068</S> my God<S>430</S>, have you also brought evil<S>7489</S> upon the widow<S>490</S> with whom I live<S>1481</S>, by slaying<S>4191</S> her son<S>1121</S>?


text:
And he stretched<S>4058</S> himself upon the child<S>3206</S> three<S>7969</S> times<S>6471</S>, and cried<S>7121</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, O Lord<S>3068</S> my God<S>430</S>, I pray you<S>3206</S>, let this child's soul<S>5315</S> come<S>7725</S> into him<S>7130</S> again<S>7725</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> heard<S>8085</S> the voice<S>6963</S> of Elijah<S>452</S>; and the soul<S>5315</S> of the child<S>3206</S> came<S>7725</S> into him<S>7130</S> again<S>7725</S>, and he revived<S>2421</S>.


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> took<S>3947</S> the child<S>3206</S>, and brought him down<S>3381</S> out of the chamber<S>5944</S> into the house<S>1004</S>, and delivered<S>5414</S> him unto his mother<S>517</S>: and Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S>, See<S>7200</S>, your son<S>1121</S> lives<S>2416</S>.


text:
And the woman<S>802</S> said<S>559</S> to Elijah<S>452</S>, Now by this<S>2088</S> I know<S>3045</S> that you are a man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, and that the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> in your mouth<S>6310</S> is truth<S>571</S>.


text:
And it came to pass after many<S>7227</S> days<S>3117</S>, that the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> came to Elijah<S>452</S> in the third<S>7992</S> year<S>8141</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, show<S>7200</S> yourself unto Ahab<S>256</S>; and I will send<S>5414</S> rain<S>4306</S> upon<S>6440</S> the earth<S>127</S>.


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> went<S>3212</S> to show<S>7200</S> himself unto Ahab<S>256</S>. And there was a severe<S>2389</S> famine<S>7458</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
And Ahab<S>256</S> called<S>7121</S> Obadiah<S>5662</S>, which was the governor of his house<S>1004</S>. (Now Obadiah<S>5662</S> feared<S>3373</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> greatly<S>3966</S>:


text:
For it was so<S>348</S>, when Jezebel cut off<S>3772</S> the prophets<S>5030</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, that Obadiah<S>5662</S> took<S>3947</S> a hundred<S>3967</S> prophets<S>5030</S>, and hid<S>2244</S> them by fifty<S>376</S> in a cave<S>4631</S>, and fed<S>3557</S> them with bread<S>3899</S> and water<S>4325</S>.)


text:
And Ahab<S>256</S> said<S>559</S> unto Obadiah<S>5662</S>, Go<S>3212</S> into the land<S>776</S>, unto all fountains<S>4599</S> of water<S>4325</S>, and unto all brooks<S>5158</S>: perhaps<S>194</S> we may find<S>4672</S> grass<S>2682</S> to save<S>2421</S> the horses<S>5483</S> and mules<S>6505</S> alive<S>2421</S>, that we lose<S>3772</S> not all the animals<S>929</S>.


text:
So they divided<S>2505</S> the land<S>776</S> between them to pass throughout<S>5674</S> it<S>256</S>: Ahab went<S>1980</S> one<S>259</S> way<S>1870</S> by himself<S>5662</S>, and Obadiah went<S>1980</S> another<S>259</S> way by himself<S>1870</S>.


text:
And as Obadiah<S>5662</S> was in the way<S>1870</S>, behold<S>452</S>, Elijah met<S>7125</S> him<S>5234</S>: and he knew him<S>5307</S>, and fell on his face<S>6440</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Are you that my lord<S>113</S> Elijah<S>452</S>?


text:
And he answered<S>559</S> him<S>3212</S>, I am: go, tell<S>559</S> your lord<S>113</S>, Behold<S>452</S>, Elijah is here.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, What have I sinned<S>2398</S>, that you would deliver<S>5414</S> your servant<S>5650</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of Ahab<S>256</S>, to kill me<S>4191</S>?


text:
As the Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S> lives<S>2416</S>, there is no<S>3426</S> nation<S>1471</S> or kingdom<S>4467</S>, where<S>834</S> my lord<S>113</S> has not sent<S>7971</S> to seek<S>1245</S> you<S>559</S>: and when they said, He is not there<S>7650</S>; he took an oath of the kingdom<S>4467</S> and nation<S>1471</S>, that they found you not<S>4672</S>.


text:
And now you say<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, tell<S>559</S> your lord<S>113</S>, Behold<S>452</S>, Elijah is here.


text:
And it shall come to pass<S>3212</S>, as soon as I am gone from you<S>7307</S>, that the Spirit of the Lord<S>3068</S> shall carry<S>5375</S> you where I know<S>3045</S> not<S>935</S>; and so when I come and tell<S>5046</S> Ahab<S>256</S>, and he cannot find<S>4672</S> you<S>2026</S>, he shall kill me<S>5650</S>: but I your servant fear<S>3372</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> from my youth<S>5271</S>.


text:
Was it not told<S>5046</S> my lord<S>113</S> what I did<S>6213</S> when Jezebel<S>348</S> killed<S>2026</S> the prophets<S>5030</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, how I hid<S>2244</S> a hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>'s prophets<S>5030</S> by fifty<S>2572</S> in a cave<S>4631</S>, and fed<S>3557</S> them with bread<S>3899</S> and water<S>4325</S>?


text:
And now you say<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, tell<S>559</S> your lord<S>113</S>, Behold<S>452</S>, Elijah is here<S>2026</S>: and he shall kill me.


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S>, As the Lord<S>3068</S> of hosts<S>6635</S> lives<S>2416</S>, before<S>6440</S> whom I stand<S>5975</S>, I will surely show<S>7200</S> myself unto him to day<S>3117</S>.


text:
So Obadiah<S>5662</S> went<S>3212</S> to meet<S>7125</S> Ahab<S>256</S>, and told<S>5046</S> him<S>256</S>: and Ahab went<S>3212</S> to meet<S>7125</S> Elijah<S>452</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>256</S>, when Ahab saw<S>7200</S> Elijah<S>452</S>, that Ahab<S>256</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>5916</S>, Are you he that troubles Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
And he answered<S>559</S>, I have not troubled<S>5916</S> Israel<S>3478</S>; but you<S>1</S>, and your father's house<S>1004</S>, in that you have forsaken<S>5800</S> the commandments<S>4687</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and you have followed<S>3212</S> Baalim<S>1168</S>.


text:
Now therefore send<S>7971</S>, and gather<S>6908</S> to me all Israel<S>3478</S> unto mountain<S>2022</S> Carmel<S>3760</S>, and the prophets<S>5030</S> of Baal<S>1168</S> four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> and fifty<S>2572</S>, and the prophets<S>5030</S> of the groves<S>842</S> four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S>, which eat<S>398</S> at Jezebel<S>348</S>'s table<S>7979</S>.


text:
So Ahab<S>256</S> sent<S>7971</S> unto all the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and gathered<S>6908</S> the prophets<S>5030</S> together<S>6908</S> unto mountain<S>2022</S> Carmel<S>3760</S>.


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> came<S>5066</S> unto all the people<S>5971</S>, and said<S>559</S>, How long<S>5921</S> hesitate<S>6452</S> you between two<S>8147</S> opinions<S>5587</S>? if the Lord<S>3068</S> be God<S>430</S>, follow him<S>1168</S>: but if Baal, then follow<S>3212</S> him<S>5971</S>. And the people answered<S>6030</S> him not a word<S>1697</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Elijah<S>452</S> unto the people<S>5971</S>, I<S>3498</S>, even I only, remain a prophet<S>5030</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>; but Baal<S>1168</S>'s prophets<S>5030</S> are four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> and fifty<S>2572</S> men<S>376</S>.


text:
Let them therefore give<S>5414</S> us two<S>8147</S> bullocks<S>6499</S>; and let them choose<S>977</S> one<S>259</S> bullock<S>6499</S> for themselves<S>5408</S>, and cut it in pieces, and lay<S>7760</S> it on wood<S>6086</S>, and put<S>7760</S> no fire<S>784</S> under<S>6213</S>: and I will dress the other<S>259</S> bullock<S>6499</S>, and lay<S>5414</S> it on wood<S>6086</S>, and put<S>7760</S> no fire under<S>784</S>:


text:
And call<S>7121</S> you on the name<S>8034</S> of your gods<S>430</S>, and I will call<S>7121</S> on the name<S>8034</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>: and the God<S>430</S> that answers<S>6030</S> by fire<S>784</S>, let him be God<S>430</S>. And all the people<S>5971</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, It is well<S>2896</S> spoken<S>1697</S>.


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> unto the prophets<S>5030</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>, Choose<S>977</S> you one<S>259</S> bullock<S>6499</S> for yourselves<S>6213</S>, and dress it first<S>7223</S>; for you are many<S>7227</S>; and call<S>7121</S> on the name<S>8034</S> of your gods<S>430</S>, but put<S>7760</S> no fire under<S>784</S>.


text:
And they took<S>3947</S> the bullock<S>6499</S> which was given<S>5414</S> them<S>6213</S>, and they dressed it<S>7121</S>, and called on the name<S>8034</S> of Baal<S>1168</S> from morning<S>1242</S> even until noon<S>6672</S>, saying<S>559</S>, O Baal<S>1168</S>, hear<S>6030</S> us<S>369</S>. But there was no voice<S>6963</S>, nor any that answered<S>6030</S>. And they leaped<S>6452</S> upon the altar<S>4196</S> which was made<S>6213</S>.


text:
And it came to pass at noon<S>6672</S>, that Elijah<S>452</S> mocked<S>2048</S> them<S>559</S>, and said, Cry<S>7121</S> aloud<S>1419</S>: for he is a god<S>430</S>; either he is talking<S>7879</S>, or he is pursuing<S>7873</S>, or he is in a journey<S>1870</S>, or perhaps<S>194</S> he sleeps<S>3463</S>, and must be awaked<S>3364</S>.


text:
And they cried<S>7121</S> aloud<S>6963</S>, and cut<S>1413</S> themselves after their manner<S>4941</S> with knives<S>2719</S> and lancets<S>7420</S>, until the blood<S>1818</S> gushed out upon them<S>8210</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>6672</S>, when midday was past<S>5674</S>, and they prophesied<S>5012</S> until the time of the offering<S>5927</S> of the evening sacrifice<S>4503</S>, that there was neither voice<S>6963</S>, nor any to answer<S>6030</S>, nor any that regarded<S>7182</S>.


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> unto all the people<S>5971</S>, Come near<S>5066</S> unto me<S>5971</S>. And all the people came near<S>5066</S> unto him<S>7495</S>. And he repaired the altar<S>4196</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> that was broken down<S>2040</S>.


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> took<S>3947</S> twelve<S>8147</S> stones<S>68</S>, according to the number<S>4557</S> of the tribes<S>7626</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Jacob<S>3290</S>, unto whom the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> came<S>559</S>, saying, Israel<S>3478</S> shall be your name<S>8034</S>:


text:
And with the stones<S>68</S> he built<S>1129</S> an altar<S>4196</S> in the name<S>8034</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>: and he made<S>6213</S> a trench<S>8585</S> about<S>5439</S> the altar<S>4196</S>, as great as would contain<S>1004</S> two measures<S>5429</S> of seed<S>2233</S>.


text:
And he put<S>6186</S> the wood<S>6086</S> in order<S>6186</S>, and cut<S>5408</S> the bullock<S>6499</S> in pieces<S>7760</S>, and laid him on the wood<S>6086</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Fill<S>4390</S> four<S>702</S> barrels<S>3537</S> with water<S>4325</S>, and pour<S>3332</S> it on the burnt sacrifice<S>5930</S>, and on the wood<S>6086</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Do it the second time<S>8138</S>. And they did it the second time<S>8138</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, Do it the third time<S>8027</S>. And they did it the third time<S>8027</S>.


text:
And the water<S>4325</S> ran<S>3212</S> round about<S>5439</S> the altar<S>4196</S>; and he filled<S>4390</S> the trench<S>8585</S> also with water<S>4325</S>.


text:
And it came to pass at the time of the offering<S>5927</S> of the evening sacrifice<S>4503</S>, that Elijah<S>452</S> the prophet<S>5030</S> came near<S>5066</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Abraham<S>85</S>, Isaac<S>3327</S>, and of Israel<S>3478</S>, let it be known<S>3045</S> this day<S>3117</S> that you are God<S>430</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>, and that I am your servant<S>5650</S>, and that I have done<S>6213</S> all these things at your word<S>1697</S>.


text:
Hear<S>6030</S> me<S>3068</S>, O Lord, hear<S>6030</S> me<S>5971</S>, that this people may know<S>3045</S> that you are the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S>, and that you have turned<S>5437</S> their heart<S>3820</S> back<S>5437</S> again<S>322</S>.


text:
Then the fire<S>784</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> fell<S>5307</S>, and consumed<S>398</S> the burnt sacrifice<S>5930</S>, and the wood<S>6086</S>, and the stones<S>68</S>, and the dust<S>6083</S>, and licked up<S>3897</S> the water<S>4325</S> that was in the trench<S>8585</S>.


text:
And when all the people<S>5971</S> saw<S>7200</S> it<S>5307</S>, they fell on their faces<S>6440</S>: and they said<S>559</S>, The Lord<S>3068</S>, he is the God<S>430</S>; the Lord<S>3068</S>, he is the God<S>430</S>.


text:
And Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> unto them<S>8610</S>, Take the prophets<S>5030</S> of Baal<S>1168</S>; let not one<S>376</S> of them escape<S>4422</S>. And they took<S>8610</S> them<S>452</S>: and Elijah brought them down<S>3381</S> to the brook<S>5158</S> Kishon<S>7028</S>, and killed them there<S>7819</S>.

And Elijah<S>452</S> said<S>559</S> unto Ahab<S>256</S>, Get you up<S>5927</S>, eat<S>398</S> and drink<S>8354</S>; for there is a sound<S>6963</S> of abundance<S>1995</S> of rain<S>1653</S>.


text:
So Ahab<S>256</S> went up<S>5927</S> to eat<S>398</S> and to drink<S>8354</S>. And Elijah<S>452</S> went up<S>5927</S> to the top<S>7218</S> of Carmel<S>3760</S>; and he cast himself down<S>1457</S> upon the earth<S>776</S>, and put<S>7760</S> his face<S>6440</S> between his knees<S>1290</S>,


text:
And said<S>559</S> to his servant<S>5288</S>, Go up<S>5927</S> now<S>5027</S>, look toward<S>1870</S> the sea<S>3220</S>. And he went up<S>5927</S>, and looked<S>5027</S>, and said<S>559</S>, There is nothing<S>3972</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, Go again<S>7725</S> seven<S>7651</S> times<S>6471</S>.


text:
And it came to pass at the seventh time<S>7637</S>, that he said<S>559</S>, Behold<S>5927</S>, there arises a little<S>6996</S> cloud<S>5645</S> out of the sea<S>3220</S>, like a man<S>376</S>'s hand<S>3709</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, Go up<S>5927</S>, say<S>559</S> unto Ahab<S>256</S>, Prepare<S>631</S> your chariot<S>3381</S>, and get you down, that the rain<S>1653</S> stop you not<S>6113</S>.


text:
And it came to pass in the mean while<S>3541</S>, that the heaven<S>8064</S> was black<S>6937</S> with clouds<S>5645</S> and wind<S>7307</S>, and there was a great<S>1419</S> rain<S>1653</S>. And Ahab<S>256</S> rode<S>7392</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Jezreel<S>3157</S>.


text:
And the hand<S>3027</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> was on Elijah<S>452</S>; and he girded up<S>8151</S> his body<S>4975</S>, and ran<S>7323</S> before<S>6440</S> Ahab<S>256</S> to the entrance<S>935</S> of Jezreel<S>3157</S>.


text:
And Ahab<S>256</S> told<S>5046</S> Jezebel<S>348</S> all that Elijah<S>452</S> had done<S>6213</S>, and with how he had slain<S>2026</S> all the prophets<S>5030</S> with the sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
Then Jezebel<S>348</S> sent<S>7971</S> a messenger<S>4397</S> unto Elijah<S>452</S>, saying<S>559</S>, So let the gods<S>430</S> do<S>6213</S> to me<S>3254</S>, and more also<S>7760</S>, if I make not your life<S>5315</S> as the life<S>5315</S> of one<S>259</S> of them by to morrow<S>4279</S> about this time<S>6256</S>.


text:
And when he saw<S>7200</S> that<S>6965</S>, he arose, and went<S>3212</S> for his life<S>5315</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Beer<S>884</S>–sheba, which belongs to Judah<S>3063</S>, and left<S>3240</S> his servant there<S>5288</S>.


text:
But he himself went<S>1980</S> a day<S>3117</S>'s journey<S>1870</S> into the wilderness<S>4057</S>, and came<S>935</S> and sat down<S>3427</S> under a<S>259</S> juniper tree<S>7574</S>: and he requested<S>7592</S> for himself<S>5315</S> that he might die<S>4191</S>; and said<S>559</S>, It is enough<S>7227</S>; now<S>3068</S>, O Lord, take away<S>3947</S> my life<S>5315</S>; for I am not better<S>2896</S> than my fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
And as he lay<S>7901</S> and slept<S>3462</S> under a<S>259</S> juniper tree<S>7574</S>, behold<S>4397</S>, then an angel touched<S>5060</S> him<S>559</S>, and said unto him<S>6965</S>, Arise and eat<S>398</S>.


text:
And he looked<S>5027</S>, and<S>5692</S>, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals<S>7529</S>, and a jar<S>6835</S> of water<S>4325</S> at his head<S>4763</S>. And he did eat<S>398</S> and drink<S>8354</S>, and laid him down<S>7901</S> again<S>7725</S>.


text:
And the angel<S>4397</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> came again<S>7725</S> the second time<S>8145</S>, and touched<S>5060</S> him<S>559</S>, and said, Arise<S>6965</S> and eat<S>398</S>; because the journey<S>1870</S> is too great for you<S>7227</S>.


text:
And he arose<S>6965</S>, and did eat<S>398</S> and drink<S>8354</S>, and went<S>3212</S> in the strength<S>3581</S> of that food<S>396</S> forty<S>705</S> days<S>3117</S> and forty<S>705</S> nights<S>3915</S> unto Horeb<S>2722</S> the mountain<S>2022</S> of God<S>430</S>.


text:
And he came<S>935</S> there unto a cave<S>4631</S>, and lodged<S>3885</S> there<S>1697</S>; and, behold, the word of the Lord<S>3068</S> came to him<S>559</S>, and he said unto him<S>452</S>, What do you here, Elijah?


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, I have been very<S>7065</S> jealous<S>7065</S> for the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of hosts<S>6635</S>: for the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> have forsaken<S>5800</S> your covenant<S>1285</S>, thrown down<S>2040</S> your altars<S>4196</S>, and slain<S>2026</S> your prophets<S>5030</S> with the sword<S>2719</S>; and I<S>3498</S>, even I only, am left; and they seek<S>1245</S> my life<S>5315</S>, to take it away<S>3947</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Go forth<S>3318</S>, and stand<S>5975</S> upon the mountain<S>2022</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>. And<S>3068</S>, behold, the Lord passed by<S>5674</S>, and a great<S>1419</S> and strong<S>2389</S> wind<S>7307</S> tore<S>6561</S> the mountains<S>2022</S>, and broke in pieces<S>7665</S> the rocks<S>5553</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>; but the Lord<S>3068</S> was not in the wind<S>7307</S>: and after<S>310</S> the wind<S>7307</S> an earthquake<S>7494</S>; but the Lord<S>3068</S> was not in the earthquake<S>7494</S>:


text:
And after<S>310</S> the earthquake<S>7494</S> a fire<S>784</S>; but the Lord<S>3068</S> was not in the fire<S>784</S>: and after<S>310</S> the fire<S>784</S> a still<S>1827</S> small<S>1851</S> voice<S>6963</S>.


text:
And it was so<S>452</S>, when Elijah heard<S>8085</S> it<S>3874</S>, that he wrapped his face<S>6440</S> in his mantle<S>155</S>, and went out<S>3318</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> in the entering in<S>6607</S> of the cave<S>4631</S>. And<S>6963</S>, behold, there came a voice unto him<S>559</S>, and said, What do you here<S>452</S>, Elijah?


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, I have been very<S>7065</S> jealous<S>7065</S> for the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of hosts<S>6635</S>: because the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> have forsaken<S>5800</S> your covenant<S>1285</S>, thrown down<S>2040</S> your altars<S>4196</S>, and slain<S>2026</S> your prophets<S>5030</S> with the sword<S>2719</S>; and I<S>3498</S>, even I only, am left; and they seek<S>1245</S> my life<S>5315</S>, to take it away<S>3947</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3212</S>, Go, return<S>7725</S> on your way<S>1870</S> to the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Damascus<S>1834</S>: and when you come<S>935</S>, anoint<S>4886</S> Hazael<S>2371</S> to be king<S>4428</S> over Syria<S>758</S>:


text:
And Jehu<S>3058</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nimshi<S>5250</S> shall you anoint<S>4886</S> to be king<S>4428</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>: and Elisha<S>477</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shaphat<S>8202</S> of Abel<S>65</S>–meholah shall you anoint<S>4886</S> to be prophet in your room<S>5030</S>.


text:
And it shall come to pass<S>4422</S>, that him that escapes the sword<S>2719</S> of Hazael<S>2371</S> shall Jehu<S>3058</S> kill<S>4191</S>: and him that escapes<S>4422</S> from the sword<S>2719</S> of Jehu<S>3058</S> shall Elisha<S>477</S> kill<S>4191</S>.


text:
Yet I have left<S>7604</S> me seven<S>7651</S> thousand<S>505</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>, all the knees<S>1290</S> which have not bowed<S>3766</S> unto Baal<S>1168</S>, and every mouth<S>6310</S> which has not kissed him<S>5401</S>.


text:
So he departed<S>3212</S> there<S>4672</S>, and found Elisha<S>477</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Shaphat<S>8202</S>, who was plowing<S>2790</S> with twelve<S>8147</S> yoke<S>6776</S> of oxen before<S>6440</S> him<S>8147</S>, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah<S>452</S> passed<S>5674</S> by him<S>7993</S>, and cast his mantle upon him<S>155</S>.


text:
And he left<S>5800</S> the oxen<S>1241</S>, and ran<S>7323</S> after<S>310</S> Elijah<S>452</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Let me<S>5401</S>, I pray you, kiss my father<S>1</S> and my mother<S>517</S>, and then I will follow<S>3212</S> you<S>559</S>. And he said unto him<S>3212</S>, Go back again<S>7725</S>: for what have I done to you<S>6213</S>?


text:
And he returned back<S>7725</S> from him<S>310</S>, and took<S>3947</S> a yoke<S>6776</S> of oxen<S>1241</S>, and killed<S>2076</S> them<S>1310</S>, and boiled their flesh<S>1320</S> with the instruments<S>3627</S> of the oxen<S>1241</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> unto the people<S>5971</S>, and they did eat<S>398</S>. Then he arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> after<S>310</S> Elijah<S>452</S>, and ministered unto him<S>8334</S>.


text:
Now the days<S>3117</S> of David<S>1732</S> drew near<S>7126</S> that he should die<S>4191</S>; and he commanded<S>6680</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> his son<S>1121</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
I go<S>1980</S> the way<S>1870</S> of all the earth<S>776</S>: be you strong<S>2388</S> therefore<S>376</S>, and show yourself a man;


text:
And keep<S>8104</S> the charge<S>4931</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>, to walk<S>3212</S> in his ways<S>1870</S>, to keep<S>8104</S> his statutes<S>2708</S>, and his commandments<S>4687</S>, and his judgments<S>4941</S>, and his testimonies<S>5715</S>, as it is written<S>3789</S> in the law<S>8451</S> of Moses<S>4872</S>, that you may prosper<S>7919</S> in all that you do<S>6213</S>, and wherever you turnest yourself<S>6437</S>:


text:
That the Lord<S>3068</S> may continue<S>6965</S> his word<S>1697</S> which he spoke<S>1696</S> concerning me<S>559</S>, saying, If your sons<S>1121</S> take care<S>8104</S> to their way<S>1870</S>, to walk<S>3212</S> before<S>6440</S> me in truth<S>571</S> with all their heart<S>3824</S> and with all their soul<S>5315</S>, there shall not fail<S>3772</S> you<S>559</S> (said he<S>376</S>) a man on the throne<S>3678</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Moreover you know<S>3045</S> also what Joab<S>3097</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S> did<S>6213</S> to me<S>6213</S>, and what he did to the two<S>8147</S> captains<S>8269</S> of the hosts<S>6635</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, unto Abner<S>74</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ner<S>5369</S>, and unto Amasa<S>6021</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jether<S>3500</S>, whom he killed<S>2026</S>, and shed<S>7760</S> the blood<S>1818</S> of war<S>4421</S> in peace<S>7965</S>, and put<S>5414</S> the blood<S>1818</S> of war<S>4421</S> upon his belt<S>2290</S> that was about his body<S>4975</S>, and in his shoes<S>5275</S> that were on his feet<S>7272</S>.


text:
Do<S>6213</S> therefore according to your wisdom<S>2451</S>, and let not his gray head<S>7872</S> go down<S>3381</S> to the grave<S>7585</S> in peace<S>7965</S>.


text:
But show<S>6213</S> kindness<S>2617</S> unto the sons<S>1121</S> of Barzillai<S>1271</S> the Gileadite<S>1569</S>, and let them be of those that eat<S>398</S> at your table<S>7979</S>: for so they came<S>7126</S> to me when I fled<S>1272</S> because<S>6440</S> of Absalom<S>53</S> your brother<S>251</S>.


text:
And<S>8096</S>, behold, you have with you Shimei the son<S>1121</S> of Gera<S>1617</S>, a Benjamite<S>1145</S> of Bahurim<S>980</S>, which cursed<S>7043</S> me with a severe<S>4834</S> curse<S>7045</S> in the day<S>3117</S> when I went<S>3212</S> to Mahanaim<S>4266</S>: but he came down<S>3381</S> to meet<S>7125</S> me at Jordan<S>3383</S>, and I swore<S>7650</S> to him by the Lord<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, I will not put you to death<S>4191</S> with the sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
Now therefore hold him not guiltless<S>5352</S>: for you are a wise<S>2450</S> man<S>376</S>, and know<S>3045</S> what you should to do<S>6213</S> unto him<S>7872</S>; but his gray head bring you down<S>3381</S> to the grave<S>7585</S> with blood<S>1818</S>.


text:
So David<S>1732</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>.


text:
And the days<S>3117</S> that David<S>1732</S> reigned<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> were forty<S>705</S> years<S>8141</S>: seven<S>7651</S> years<S>8141</S> reigned<S>4427</S> he in Hebron<S>2275</S>, and thirty<S>7970</S> and three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S> reigned<S>4427</S> he in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
Then sat<S>3427</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> upon the throne<S>3678</S> of David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>; and his kingdom<S>4438</S> was established<S>3559</S> greatly<S>3966</S>.


text:
And Adonijah<S>138</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Haggith<S>2294</S> came<S>935</S> to Bath<S>1339</S>–sheba the mother<S>517</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>. And she said<S>559</S>, Come<S>935</S> you peaceably<S>7965</S>? And he said<S>559</S>, Peaceably<S>7965</S>.


text:
He said<S>559</S> moreover<S>1697</S>, I have somewhat to say unto you<S>559</S>. And she said, Say on<S>1696</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, You know<S>3045</S> that the kingdom<S>4410</S> was my<S>3478</S>, and that all Israel set<S>7760</S> their faces<S>6440</S> on me<S>4427</S>, that I should reign: but the kingdom<S>4410</S> is turned about<S>5437</S>, and is become my brother<S>251</S>'s: for it was his from the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And now I ask<S>7592</S> one<S>259</S> petition<S>7596</S> of you<S>7725</S>, deny me<S>6440</S> not<S>559</S>. And she said unto him<S>1696</S>, Say on.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Speak<S>559</S>, I pray you<S>8010</S>, unto Solomon the king<S>4428</S>, (for he will not say<S>7725</S> you<S>6440</S> No<S>7725</S>,) that he give<S>5414</S> me Abishag<S>49</S> the Shunammite<S>7767</S> to wife<S>802</S>.


text:
And Bath<S>1339</S>–sheba said<S>559</S>, Well<S>2896</S>; I will speak<S>1696</S> for you unto the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
Bath<S>1339</S>–sheba therefore went<S>935</S> unto king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>, to speak<S>1696</S> unto him for Adonijah<S>138</S>. And the king<S>4428</S> rose up<S>6965</S> to meet<S>7125</S> her<S>7812</S>, and bowed himself unto her<S>3427</S>, and sat down on his throne<S>3678</S>, and caused a seat<S>3678</S> to be set<S>7760</S> for the king<S>4428</S>'s mother<S>517</S>; and she sat<S>3427</S> on his right hand<S>3225</S>.


text:
Then she said<S>559</S>, I desire<S>7592</S> one<S>259</S> small<S>6996</S> petition<S>7596</S> of you<S>7725</S>; I pray you, say me<S>6440</S> not No<S>7725</S>. And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto her<S>7592</S>, Ask on, my mother<S>517</S>: for I will not say<S>7725</S> you<S>6440</S> No<S>7725</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S>, Let Abishag<S>49</S> the Shunammite<S>7767</S> be given<S>5414</S> to Adonijah<S>138</S> your brother<S>251</S> to wife<S>802</S>.


text:
And king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S> unto his mother<S>517</S>, And why do you ask<S>7592</S> Abishag<S>49</S> the Shunammite<S>7767</S> for Adonijah<S>138</S>? ask<S>7592</S> for him the kingdom<S>4410</S> also<S>1419</S>; for he is my elder brother<S>251</S>; even for him<S>54</S>, and for Abiathar the priest<S>3548</S>, and for Joab<S>3097</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S>.


text:
Then king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> swore<S>7650</S> by the Lord<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, God<S>430</S> do<S>6213</S> so to me<S>3254</S>, and more also, if Adonijah<S>138</S> have not spoken<S>1696</S> this word<S>1697</S> against his own life<S>5315</S>.

Now therefore<S>3068</S>, as the Lord lives<S>2416</S>, which has established<S>3559</S> me<S>3427</S>, and set me on the throne<S>3678</S> of David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S>, and who has made<S>6213</S> me an house<S>1004</S>, as he promised<S>1696</S>, Adonijah<S>138</S> shall be put to death<S>4191</S> this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> sent<S>7971</S> by the hand<S>3027</S> of Benaiah<S>1141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S>; and he fell<S>6293</S> upon him that he died<S>4191</S>.


text:
And unto Abiathar<S>54</S> the priest<S>3548</S> said<S>559</S> the king<S>4428</S>, Get<S>3212</S> you to Anathoth<S>6068</S>, unto your own fields<S>7704</S>; for you are worthy<S>376</S> of death<S>4194</S>: but I will not at this time<S>3117</S> put you to death<S>4191</S>, because you bore<S>5375</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the Lord<S>136</S> God<S>3069</S> before<S>6440</S> David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S>, and because you have been afflicted<S>6031</S> in all where my father<S>1</S> was afflicted<S>6031</S>.


text:
So Solomon<S>8010</S> thrust out<S>1644</S> Abiathar<S>54</S> from being priest<S>3548</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>; that he might fulfill<S>4390</S> the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, which he spoke<S>1696</S> concerning the house<S>1004</S> of Eli<S>5941</S> in Shiloh<S>7887</S>.


text:
Then tidings<S>8052</S> came<S>935</S> to Joab<S>3097</S>: for Joab<S>3097</S> had turned<S>5186</S> after<S>310</S> Adonijah<S>138</S>, though he turned<S>5186</S> not after<S>310</S> Absalom<S>53</S>. And Joab<S>3097</S> fled<S>5127</S> unto the tabernacle<S>168</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and caught hold<S>2388</S> on the horns<S>7161</S> of the altar<S>4196</S>.


text:
And it was told<S>5046</S> king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> that Joab<S>3097</S> was fled<S>5127</S> unto the tabernacle<S>168</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>; and<S>681</S>, behold, he is by the altar<S>4196</S>. Then Solomon<S>8010</S> sent<S>7971</S> Benaiah<S>1141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, fall upon him<S>6293</S>.


text:
And Benaiah<S>1141</S> came<S>935</S> to the tabernacle<S>168</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>559</S>, Thus says the king<S>4428</S>, Come forth<S>3318</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, No<S>4191</S>; but I will die here<S>1141</S>. And Benaiah brought<S>7725</S> the king<S>4428</S> word<S>1697</S> again<S>7725</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Thus said<S>1696</S> Joab<S>3097</S>, and thus he answered me<S>6030</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>6213</S>, Do as he has said<S>1696</S>, and fall<S>6293</S> upon him<S>6912</S>, and bury him<S>5493</S>; that you may take away the innocent<S>2600</S> blood<S>1818</S>, which Joab<S>3097</S> shed<S>8210</S>, from me<S>1004</S>, and from the house of my father<S>1</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> shall return<S>7725</S> his blood<S>1818</S> upon his own head<S>7218</S>, who fell<S>6293</S> upon two<S>8147</S> men<S>582</S> more righteous<S>6662</S> and better<S>2896</S> than he<S>2026</S>, and killed them with the sword<S>2719</S>, my father<S>1</S> David<S>1732</S> not knowing<S>3045</S> there<S>74</S>, to know, Abner the son<S>1121</S> of Ner<S>5369</S>, captain<S>8269</S> of the army<S>6635</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and Amasa<S>6021</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jether<S>3500</S>, captain<S>8269</S> of the army<S>6635</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
Their blood<S>1818</S> shall therefore return<S>7725</S> upon the head<S>7218</S> of Joab<S>3097</S>, and upon the head<S>7218</S> of his seed<S>2233</S> for ever<S>5769</S>: but upon David<S>1732</S>, and upon his seed<S>2233</S>, and upon his house<S>1004</S>, and upon his throne<S>3678</S>, shall there be peace<S>7965</S> for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S> from the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
So Benaiah<S>1141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S> went up<S>5927</S>, and fell<S>6293</S> upon him<S>4191</S>, and killed him<S>6912</S>: and he was buried in his own house<S>1004</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> put<S>5414</S> Benaiah<S>1141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S> in his room over the army<S>6635</S>: and Zadok<S>6659</S> the priest<S>3548</S> did the king<S>4428</S> put<S>5414</S> in the room of Abiathar<S>54</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> sent<S>7971</S> and called<S>7121</S> for Shimei<S>8096</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>1129</S>, Build you a house<S>1004</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and live<S>3427</S> there<S>3318</S>, and go not forth there any where<S>575</S>.


text:
For it shall be<S>3117</S>, that on the day you go out<S>3318</S>, and pass over<S>5674</S> the brook<S>5158</S> Kidron<S>6939</S>, you shall know<S>3045</S> for certain<S>3045</S> that you shall surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>: your blood<S>1818</S> shall be upon your own head<S>7218</S>.


text:
And Shimei<S>8096</S> said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, The saying<S>1697</S> is good<S>2896</S>: as my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S> has said<S>1696</S>, so will your servant<S>5650</S> do<S>6213</S>. And Shimei<S>8096</S> lived<S>3427</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S> many<S>7227</S> days<S>3117</S>.


text:
And it came to pass at the end<S>7093</S> of three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S>, that two<S>8147</S> of the servants<S>5650</S> of Shimei<S>8096</S> ran away<S>1272</S> unto Achish<S>397</S> son<S>1121</S> of Maachah<S>4601</S> king<S>4428</S> of Gath<S>1661</S>. And they told<S>5046</S> Shimei<S>8096</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Behold<S>5650</S>, your servants be in Gath<S>1661</S>.


text:
And Shimei<S>8096</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and saddled<S>2280</S> his donkey<S>2543</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Gath<S>1661</S> to Achish<S>397</S> to seek<S>1245</S> his servants<S>5650</S>: and Shimei<S>8096</S> went<S>3212</S>, and brought<S>935</S> his servants<S>5650</S> from Gath<S>1661</S>.


text:
And it was told<S>5046</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> that Shimei<S>8096</S> had gone<S>1980</S> from Jerusalem<S>3389</S> to Gath<S>1661</S>, and was come again<S>7725</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> sent<S>7971</S> and called<S>7121</S> for Shimei<S>8096</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>7650</S>, Did I not make you to swear by the Lord<S>3068</S>, and protested<S>5749</S> unto you<S>559</S>, saying, Know<S>3045</S> for a certain<S>3045</S>, on the day<S>3117</S> you go out<S>3318</S>, and walk<S>1980</S> abroad any where<S>575</S>, that you shall surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>? and you said<S>559</S> unto me<S>1697</S>, The word that I have heard<S>8085</S> is good<S>2896</S>.


text:
Why then have you not kept<S>8104</S> the oath<S>7621</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and the commandment<S>4687</S> that I have commanded you with<S>6680</S>?


text:
The king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> moreover to Shimei<S>8096</S>, You know<S>3045</S> all the wickedness<S>7451</S> which your heart<S>3824</S> is privy to<S>3045</S>, that you did<S>6213</S> to David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S>: therefore the Lord<S>3068</S> shall return<S>7725</S> your wickedness<S>7451</S> upon your own head<S>7218</S>;


text:
And king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> shall be blessed<S>1288</S>, and the throne<S>3678</S> of David<S>1732</S> shall be established<S>3559</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>.


text:
So the king<S>4428</S> commanded<S>6680</S> Benaiah<S>1141</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehoiada<S>3077</S>; which went out<S>3318</S>, and fell<S>6293</S> upon him<S>4191</S>, that he died. And the kingdom<S>4467</S> was established<S>3559</S> in the hand<S>3027</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>.


text:
And Ben<S>1130</S>–hadad the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> gathered<S>6908</S> all his army<S>2428</S> together<S>6908</S>: and there were thirty<S>7970</S> and two<S>8147</S> kings<S>4428</S> with him<S>5483</S>, and horses, and chariots<S>7393</S>: and he went up<S>5927</S> and besieged<S>6696</S> Samaria<S>8111</S>, and warred against it<S>3898</S>.


text:
And he sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> into the city<S>5892</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>559</S>, Thus says Ben<S>1130</S>–hadad,


text:
Your silver<S>3701</S> and your gold<S>2091</S> is my<S>802</S>; your wives also and your sons<S>1121</S>, even the best<S>2896</S>, are my.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, My lord<S>113</S>, O king<S>4428</S>, according to your saying<S>1697</S>, I am your, and all that I have.


text:
And the messengers<S>4397</S> came again<S>7725</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Thus speaks<S>559</S> Ben<S>1130</S>–hadad, saying<S>559</S>, Although I have sent<S>7971</S> unto you<S>559</S>, saying, You shall deliver<S>5414</S> me your silver<S>3701</S>, and your gold<S>2091</S>, and your wives<S>802</S>, and your sons<S>1121</S>;


text:
Yet I will send<S>7971</S> my servants<S>5650</S> unto you to morrow<S>4279</S> about this time<S>6256</S>, and they shall search<S>2664</S> your house<S>1004</S>, and the houses<S>1004</S> of your servants<S>5650</S>; and it shall be<S>1961</S>, that whatever is pleasant<S>4261</S> in your eyes<S>5869</S>, they shall put<S>7760</S> it in their hand<S>3027</S>, and take it away<S>3947</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> called<S>7121</S> all the elders<S>2205</S> of the land<S>776</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Mark<S>3045</S>, I pray you<S>7200</S>, and see how this man seeks<S>1245</S> mischief<S>7451</S>: for he sent<S>7971</S> unto me for my wives<S>802</S>, and for my sons<S>1121</S>, and for my silver<S>3701</S>, and for my gold<S>2091</S>; and I denied him not<S>4513</S>.


text:
And all the elders<S>2205</S> and all the people<S>5971</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>8085</S>, Listen not unto him<S>14</S>, nor consent.


text:
That is why he said<S>559</S> unto the messengers<S>4397</S> of Ben<S>1130</S>–hadad, Tell<S>559</S> my lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>, All that you did send<S>7971</S> for to your servant<S>5650</S> at the first<S>7223</S> I will do<S>6213</S>: but this thing<S>1697</S> I may<S>3201</S> not do<S>6213</S>. And the messengers<S>4397</S> departed<S>3212</S>, and brought<S>7725</S> him word<S>1697</S> again<S>7725</S>.


text:
And Ben<S>1130</S>–hadad sent<S>7971</S> unto him<S>559</S>, and said, The gods<S>430</S> do so<S>6213</S> unto me<S>3254</S>, and more also, if the dust<S>6083</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S> shall suffice<S>5606</S> for handfuls<S>8168</S> for all the people<S>5971</S> that follow me<S>7272</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, Tell<S>1696</S> him<S>2296</S>, Let not him that puts on his harness boast<S>1984</S> himself as he that puts it off<S>6605</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>8085</S>, when Ben–hadad heard this message<S>1697</S>, as he was drinking<S>8354</S>, he and the kings<S>4428</S> in the pavilions<S>5521</S>, that he said<S>559</S> unto his servants<S>5650</S>, Set<S>7760</S> yourselves in array<S>7760</S>. And they set themselves in array against the city<S>5892</S>.


text:
And<S>5066</S>, behold, there came a<S>259</S> prophet<S>5030</S> unto Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, Have you seen<S>7200</S> all this great<S>1419</S> multitude<S>1995</S>? behold<S>5414</S>, I will deliver it into your hand<S>3027</S> this day<S>3117</S>; and you shall know<S>3045</S> that I am the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Ahab<S>256</S> said<S>559</S>, By whom<S>559</S>? And he said, Thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, Even by the young men<S>5288</S> of the princes<S>8269</S> of the provinces<S>4082</S>. Then he said<S>559</S>, Who shall order<S>631</S> the battle<S>4421</S>? And he answered<S>559</S>, You.


text:
Then he numbered<S>6485</S> the young men<S>5288</S> of the princes<S>8269</S> of the provinces<S>4082</S>, and they were two<S>8147</S> hundred<S>3967</S> and thirty<S>7970</S> two<S>8147</S>: and after<S>310</S> them he numbered<S>6485</S> all the people<S>5971</S>, even all the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, being seven<S>7651</S> thousand<S>505</S>.


text:
And they went out<S>3318</S> at noon<S>6672</S>. But Ben<S>1130</S>–hadad was drinking<S>8354</S> himself drunk<S>7910</S> in the pavilions<S>5521</S>, he and the kings<S>4428</S>, the thirty<S>7970</S> and two<S>8147</S> kings<S>4428</S> that helped him<S>5826</S>.


text:
And the young men<S>5288</S> of the princes<S>8269</S> of the provinces<S>4082</S> went out<S>3318</S> first<S>7223</S>; and Ben<S>1130</S>–hadad sent out<S>7971</S>, and they told<S>5046</S> him<S>559</S>, saying, There are men<S>582</S> come out<S>3318</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Whether they be come out<S>3318</S> for peace<S>7965</S>, take<S>8610</S> them alive<S>2416</S>; or whether they be come out<S>3318</S> for war<S>4421</S>, take<S>8610</S> them alive<S>2416</S>.


text:
So these young men<S>5288</S> of the princes<S>8269</S> of the provinces<S>4082</S> came out<S>3318</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and the army<S>2428</S> which followed them<S>310</S>.


text:
And they killed<S>5221</S> every one<S>376</S> his man<S>376</S>: and the Syrians<S>758</S> fled<S>5127</S>; and Israel<S>3478</S> pursued<S>7291</S> them<S>1130</S>: and Ben–hadad the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> escaped<S>4422</S> on an horse<S>5483</S> with the horsemen<S>6571</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went out<S>3318</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> the horses<S>5483</S> and chariots<S>7393</S>, and killed<S>5221</S> the Syrians<S>758</S> with a great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4347</S>.


text:
And the prophet<S>5030</S> came<S>5066</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3212</S>, Go, strengthen<S>2388</S> yourself<S>3045</S>, and mark, and see<S>7200</S> what you do<S>6213</S>: for at the return<S>8666</S> of the year<S>8141</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> will come up against you<S>5927</S>.


text:
And the servants<S>5650</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>430</S>, Their gods are gods<S>430</S> of the hills<S>2022</S>; therefore they were stronger<S>2388</S> than we<S>199</S>; but let us fight<S>3898</S> against them in the plain<S>4334</S>, and surely<S>3808</S> we shall be stronger than they<S>2388</S>.


text:
And do<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S>, Take<S>5493</S> the kings<S>4428</S> away<S>376</S>, every man out of his place<S>4725</S>, and put<S>7760</S> captains in their rooms<S>6346</S>:


text:
And number<S>4487</S> you an army<S>2428</S>, like the army<S>2428</S> that you have lost<S>5307</S>, horse<S>5483</S> for horse<S>5483</S>, and chariot<S>7393</S> for chariot<S>7393</S>: and we will fight<S>3898</S> against<S>854</S> them in the plain<S>4334</S>, and surely we shall be stronger<S>2388</S> than they<S>8085</S>. And he listened unto their voice<S>6963</S>, and did so<S>6213</S>.

And it came to pass at the return<S>8666</S> of the year<S>8141</S>, that Ben<S>1130</S>–hadad numbered<S>6485</S> the Syrians<S>758</S>, and went up<S>5927</S> to Aphek<S>663</S>, to fight<S>4421</S> against Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were numbered<S>6485</S>, and were all present<S>3557</S>, and went<S>3212</S> against<S>7125</S> them<S>1121</S>: and the sons of Israel<S>3478</S> pitched<S>2583</S> before them like two<S>8147</S> little flocks<S>2835</S> of kids<S>5795</S>; but the Syrians<S>758</S> filled<S>4390</S> the country<S>776</S>.


text:
And there came<S>5066</S> a man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>, and spoke<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, Because the Syrians<S>758</S> have said<S>559</S>, The Lord<S>3068</S> is God<S>430</S> of the hills<S>2022</S>, but he is not God<S>430</S> of the valleys<S>6010</S>, therefore will I deliver<S>5414</S> all this great<S>1419</S> multitude<S>1995</S> into your hand<S>3027</S>, and you shall know<S>3045</S> that I am the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And they pitched<S>2583</S> one<S>428</S> over against<S>5227</S> the other<S>428</S> seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>. And so it was<S>7637</S>, that in the seventh day<S>3117</S> the battle<S>4421</S> was joined<S>7126</S>: and the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> killed<S>5221</S> of the Syrians<S>758</S> an hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> footmen<S>7273</S> in one<S>259</S> day<S>3117</S>.


text:
But the rest<S>3498</S> fled<S>5127</S> to Aphek<S>663</S>, into the city<S>5892</S>; and there a wall<S>2346</S> fell<S>5307</S> upon twenty<S>6242</S> and seven<S>7651</S> thousand<S>505</S> of the men<S>376</S> that were left<S>3498</S>. And Ben<S>1130</S>–hadad fled<S>5127</S>, and came<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>, into an inner<S>2315</S> chamber<S>2315</S>.


text:
And his servants<S>5650</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>8085</S>, Behold now, we have heard that the kings<S>4428</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> are merciful<S>2617</S> kings<S>4428</S>: let us<S>7760</S>, I pray you, put sackcloth<S>8242</S> on our body<S>4975</S>, and ropes<S>2256</S> upon our heads<S>7218</S>, and go out<S>3318</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: perhaps he will save<S>2421</S> your life<S>5315</S>.


text:
So they girded<S>2296</S> sackcloth<S>8242</S> on their body<S>4975</S>, and put ropes<S>2256</S> on their heads<S>7218</S>, and came<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Your servant<S>5650</S> Ben<S>1130</S>–hadad says<S>559</S>, I pray you<S>2421</S>, let me live. And he said<S>559</S>, Is he yet alive<S>2416</S>? he is my brother<S>251</S>.


text:
Now the men<S>582</S> did diligently observe<S>5172</S> whether any thing would come from him<S>4116</S>, and did hastily catch<S>2480</S> it<S>559</S>: and they said, Your brother<S>251</S> Ben<S>1130</S>–hadad. Then he said<S>559</S>, Go<S>935</S> you<S>3947</S>, bring him<S>1130</S>. Then Ben–hadad came forth<S>3318</S> to him<S>5927</S>; and he caused him to come up into the chariot<S>4818</S>.


text:
And Ben<S>559</S>–hadad said unto him<S>5892</S>, The cities, which my father<S>1</S> took<S>3947</S> from your father<S>1</S>, I will restore<S>7725</S>; and you shall make<S>7760</S> streets<S>2351</S> for you in Damascus<S>1834</S>, as my father<S>1</S> made<S>7760</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S>. Then said Ahab<S>7971</S>, I will send you away with this covenant<S>1285</S>. So he made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> with him<S>7971</S>, and sent him away.


text:
And a certain<S>259</S> man<S>376</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> said<S>559</S> unto his neighbor<S>7453</S> in the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, Strike<S>5221</S> me<S>376</S>, I pray you. And the man refused<S>3985</S> to strike him<S>5221</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> he unto him<S>8085</S>, Because you have not obeyed the voice<S>6963</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, behold<S>1980</S>, as soon as you are departed from me<S>738</S>, a lion shall kill<S>5221</S> you<S>3212</S>. And as soon as he was departed from him<S>681</S>, a lion<S>738</S> found<S>4672</S> him<S>5221</S>, and killed him.


text:
Then he found<S>4672</S> another<S>312</S> man<S>376</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Strike<S>5221</S> me<S>376</S>, I pray you. And the man struck<S>5221</S> him<S>5221</S>, so that in striking he wounded him<S>6481</S>.


text:
So the prophet<S>5030</S> departed<S>3212</S>, and waited<S>5975</S> for the king<S>4428</S> by the way<S>1870</S>, and disguised<S>2664</S> himself with ashes<S>666</S> upon his face<S>5869</S>.


text:
And as the king<S>4428</S> passed by<S>5674</S>, he cried<S>6817</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>: and he said<S>559</S>, Your servant<S>5650</S> went out<S>3318</S> into the middle<S>7130</S> of the battle<S>4421</S>; and<S>376</S>, behold, a man turned aside<S>5493</S>, and brought<S>935</S> a man<S>376</S> unto me<S>559</S>, and said, Keep<S>8104</S> this man<S>376</S>: if by any means<S>6485</S> he be missing<S>6485</S>, then shall your life<S>5315</S> be for his life<S>5315</S>, or else you shall pay<S>8254</S> a talent<S>3603</S> of silver<S>3701</S>.


text:
And as your servant<S>5650</S> was busy<S>6213</S> here and there<S>369</S>, he was gone. And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>4941</S>, So shall your judgment be<S>2782</S>; yourself have decided it.


text:
And he hurried<S>4116</S>, and took the ashes<S>666</S> away<S>5493</S> from his face<S>5869</S>; and the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> discerned<S>5234</S> him that he was of the prophets<S>5030</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto him<S>559</S>, Thus says the Lord<S>3068</S>, Because you have let go<S>7971</S> out of your hand<S>3027</S> a man<S>376</S> whom I appointed to utter destruction<S>2764</S>, therefore your life<S>5315</S> shall go for his life<S>5315</S>, and your people<S>5971</S> for his people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> went<S>3212</S> to his house<S>1004</S> heavy<S>5620</S> and displeased<S>2198</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
And it came to pass after<S>310</S> these things<S>1697</S>, that Naboth<S>5022</S> the Jezreelite<S>3158</S> had a vineyard<S>3754</S>, which was in Jezreel<S>3157</S>, hard by<S>681</S> the palace<S>1964</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
And Ahab<S>256</S> spoke<S>1696</S> unto Naboth<S>5022</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Give<S>5414</S> me your vineyard<S>3754</S>, that I may have it for a garden<S>1588</S> of herbs<S>3419</S>, because it is near<S>7138</S> unto<S>681</S> my house<S>1004</S>: and I will give<S>5414</S> you for it a better<S>2896</S> vineyard<S>3754</S> than it<S>2896</S>; or, if it seem good to you<S>5869</S>, I will give<S>5414</S> you the worth<S>4242</S> of it in money<S>3701</S>.


text:
And Naboth<S>5022</S> said<S>559</S> to Ahab<S>256</S>, The Lord<S>3068</S> forbid<S>2486</S> it me<S>5414</S>, that I should give the inheritance<S>5159</S> of my fathers unto you<S>1</S>.


text:
And Ahab<S>256</S> came<S>935</S> into his house<S>1004</S> heavy<S>5620</S> and displeased<S>2198</S> because of the word<S>1697</S> which Naboth<S>5022</S> the Jezreelite<S>3158</S> had spoken<S>1696</S> to him<S>559</S>: for he had said, I will not give<S>5414</S> you the inheritance<S>5159</S> of my fathers<S>1</S>. And he laid him down<S>7901</S> upon his bed<S>4296</S>, and turned away<S>5437</S> his face<S>6440</S>, and would eat<S>398</S> no bread<S>3899</S>.


text:
But Jezebel<S>348</S> his wife<S>802</S> came<S>935</S> to him<S>1696</S>, and said unto him<S>7307</S>, Why is your spirit so sad<S>5620</S>, that you eat<S>398</S> no bread<S>3899</S>?


text:
And he said<S>1696</S> unto her<S>1696</S>, Because I spoke unto Naboth<S>5022</S> the Jezreelite<S>3158</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>5414</S>, Give me your vineyard<S>3754</S> for money<S>3701</S>; or else<S>2655</S>, if it please you<S>5414</S>, I will give you another vineyard<S>3754</S> for it<S>559</S>: and he answered, I will not give<S>5414</S> you my vineyard<S>3754</S>.


text:
And Jezebel<S>348</S> his wife<S>802</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>6213</S>, Do you now govern the kingdom<S>4410</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>? arise<S>6965</S>, and eat<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S>, and let your heart<S>3820</S> be merry<S>3190</S>: I will give<S>5414</S> you the vineyard<S>3754</S> of Naboth<S>5022</S> the Jezreelite<S>3158</S>.


text:
So she wrote<S>3789</S> letters<S>5612</S> in Ahab<S>256</S>'s name<S>8034</S>, and sealed<S>2856</S> them with his seal<S>2368</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> the letters<S>5612</S> unto the elders<S>2205</S> and to the nobles<S>2715</S> that were in his city<S>5892</S>, living<S>3427</S> with Naboth<S>5022</S>.


text:
And she wrote<S>3789</S> in the letters<S>5612</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Proclaim<S>7121</S> a fast<S>6685</S>, and set<S>3427</S> Naboth<S>5022</S> on high<S>7218</S> among the people<S>5971</S>:


text:
And set<S>3427</S> two<S>8147</S> men<S>582</S>, sons<S>1121</S> of Belial<S>1100</S>, before him<S>5749</S>, to carry witness against him<S>559</S>, saying, You did blaspheme<S>1288</S> God<S>430</S> and the king<S>4428</S>. And then carry him out<S>3318</S>, and stone<S>5619</S> him<S>4191</S>, that he may die.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> of his city<S>5892</S>, even the elders<S>2205</S> and the nobles<S>2715</S> who were the inhabitants<S>3427</S> in his city<S>5892</S>, did<S>6213</S> as Jezebel<S>348</S> had sent<S>7971</S> unto them<S>3789</S>, and as it was written in the letters<S>5612</S> which she had sent unto them<S>7971</S>.


text:
They proclaimed<S>7121</S> a fast<S>6685</S>, and set<S>3427</S> Naboth<S>5022</S> on high<S>7218</S> among the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And there came<S>935</S> in two<S>8147</S> men<S>582</S>, sons<S>1121</S> of Belial<S>1100</S>, and sat<S>3427</S> before him<S>582</S>: and the men of Belial<S>1100</S> witnessed<S>5749</S> against him<S>5022</S>, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people<S>5971</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Naboth<S>5022</S> did blaspheme<S>1288</S> God<S>430</S> and the king<S>4428</S>. Then they carried him forth<S>3318</S> out<S>2351</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and stoned<S>5619</S> him with stones<S>68</S>, that he died<S>4191</S>.


text:
Then they sent<S>7971</S> to Jezebel<S>348</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Naboth<S>5022</S> is stoned<S>5619</S>, and is dead<S>4191</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>348</S>, when Jezebel heard<S>8085</S> that Naboth<S>5022</S> was stoned<S>5619</S>, and was dead<S>4191</S>, that Jezebel<S>348</S> said<S>559</S> to Ahab<S>256</S>, Arise<S>6965</S>, take possession<S>3423</S> of the vineyard<S>3754</S> of Naboth<S>5022</S> the Jezreelite<S>3158</S>, which he refused<S>3985</S> to give<S>5414</S> you for money<S>3701</S>: for Naboth<S>5022</S> is not alive<S>2416</S>, but dead<S>4191</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>256</S>, when Ahab heard<S>8085</S> that Naboth<S>5022</S> was dead<S>4191</S>, that Ahab<S>256</S> rose up<S>6965</S> to go down<S>3381</S> to the vineyard<S>3754</S> of Naboth<S>5022</S> the Jezreelite<S>3158</S>, to take possession of it<S>3423</S>.


text:
And the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> came to Elijah<S>452</S> the Tishbite<S>8664</S>, saying<S>559</S>,


text:
Arise<S>6965</S>, go down<S>3381</S> to meet<S>7125</S> Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, which is in Samaria<S>8111</S>: behold<S>3754</S>, he is in the vineyard of Naboth<S>5022</S>, where he is gone down<S>3381</S> to possess it<S>3423</S>.


text:
And you shall speak<S>1696</S> unto him<S>559</S>, saying, Thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, Have you killed<S>7523</S>, and also taken possession<S>3423</S>? And you shall speak<S>1696</S> unto him<S>559</S>, saying, Thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, In the place<S>4725</S> where dogs<S>3611</S> licked<S>3952</S> the blood<S>1818</S> of Naboth<S>5022</S> shall dogs<S>3611</S> lick<S>3952</S> your blood<S>1818</S>, even your.


text:
And Ahab<S>256</S> said<S>559</S> to Elijah<S>452</S>, Have you found<S>4672</S> me<S>341</S>, O my enemy? And he answered<S>559</S>, I have found<S>4672</S> you<S>4376</S>: because you have sold yourself to work<S>6213</S> evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
Behold<S>935</S>, I will bring evil<S>7451</S> upon you<S>1197</S>, and will take away your posterity<S>310</S>, and will cut off<S>3772</S> from Ahab<S>256</S> him that urinates<S>8366</S> against the wall<S>7023</S>, and him that is shut up<S>6113</S> and left<S>5800</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>,


text:
And will make<S>5414</S> your house<S>1004</S> like the house<S>1004</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, and like the house<S>1004</S> of Baasha<S>1201</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahijah<S>281</S>, for the provocation<S>3708</S> with which you have provoked me to anger<S>3707</S>, and made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>.


text:
And of Jezebel<S>348</S> also spoke<S>1696</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, The dogs<S>3611</S> shall eat<S>398</S> Jezebel<S>348</S> by the wall<S>2426</S> of Jezreel<S>3157</S>.


text:
Him that dies<S>4191</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> in the city<S>5892</S> the dogs<S>3611</S> shall eat<S>398</S>; and him that dies<S>4191</S> in the field<S>7704</S> shall the birds<S>5775</S> of the air<S>8064</S> eat<S>398</S>.


text:
But there was none like unto Ahab<S>256</S>, which did sell<S>4376</S> himself to work<S>6213</S> wickedness<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, whom Jezebel<S>348</S> his wife<S>802</S> stirred up<S>5496</S>.


text:
And he did very<S>3966</S> abominably<S>8581</S> in following<S>3212</S> idols<S>1544</S>, according to all things as did<S>6213</S> the Amorites<S>567</S>, whom the Lord<S>3068</S> cast out<S>3423</S> before<S>6440</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>256</S>, when Ahab heard<S>8085</S> those words<S>1697</S>, that he tore<S>7167</S> his clothes<S>899</S>, and put<S>7760</S> sackcloth<S>8242</S> upon his flesh<S>1320</S>, and fasted<S>6684</S>, and lay<S>7901</S> in sackcloth<S>8242</S>, and went<S>1980</S> softly<S>328</S>.


text:
See<S>7200</S> you how Ahab<S>256</S> humbles<S>3665</S> himself before<S>6440</S> me<S>3282</S>? because he humbles<S>3665</S> himself before<S>6440</S> me<S>935</S>, I will not bring the evil<S>7451</S> in his days<S>3117</S>: but in his son<S>1121</S>'s days<S>3117</S> will I bring<S>935</S> the evil<S>7451</S> upon his house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And they continued<S>3427</S> three<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S> outside war<S>4421</S> between Syria<S>758</S> and Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And it came to pass in the third<S>7992</S> year<S>8141</S>, that Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> came down<S>3381</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> unto his servants<S>5650</S>, Know<S>3045</S> you that Ramoth<S>7433</S> in Gilead<S>1568</S> is ours<S>2814</S>, and we be still, and take<S>3947</S> it not out of the hand<S>3027</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S>?

And he said<S>559</S> unto Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, Will you go<S>3212</S> with me to battle<S>4421</S> to Ramoth<S>7433</S>–gilead? And Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> said<S>559</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, I am as you<S>3644</S> are<S>5971</S>, my people as your people<S>5971</S>, my horses<S>5483</S> as your horses<S>5483</S>.


text:
And Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Inquire<S>1875</S>, I pray you<S>1697</S>, at the word of the Lord<S>3068</S> to day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> gathered<S>6908</S> the prophets<S>5030</S> together<S>6908</S>, about four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto them<S>3212</S>, Shall I go against Ramoth<S>7433</S>–gilead to battle<S>4421</S>, or shall I forbear<S>2308</S>? And they said<S>559</S>, Go up<S>5927</S>; for the Lord<S>136</S> shall deliver<S>5414</S> it into the hand<S>3027</S> of the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> said<S>559</S>, Is there not here a prophet<S>5030</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> besides<S>5750</S>, that we might inquire of him<S>1875</S>?


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> unto Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, There is yet one<S>259</S> man<S>376</S>, Micaiah<S>4321</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Imlah<S>3229</S>, by whom we may inquire<S>1875</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>: but I hate<S>8130</S> him<S>5012</S>; for he does not prophesy good<S>2896</S> concerning me<S>7451</S>, but evil. And Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> said<S>559</S>, Let not the king<S>4428</S> say so<S>559</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> called<S>7121</S> an<S>259</S> officer<S>5631</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Hasten<S>4116</S> here Micaiah<S>4321</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Imlah<S>3229</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> sat<S>3427</S> each<S>376</S> on his throne<S>3678</S>, having put on<S>3847</S> their robes<S>899</S>, in a void place<S>1637</S> in the entrance<S>6607</S> of the gate<S>8179</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>; and all the prophets<S>5030</S> prophesied<S>5012</S> before them<S>6440</S>.


text:
And Zedekiah<S>6667</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Chenaanah<S>3668</S> made<S>6213</S> him horns<S>7161</S> of iron<S>1270</S>: and he said<S>559</S>, Thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, With these shall you push<S>5055</S> the Syrians<S>758</S>, until you have consumed them<S>3615</S>.


text:
And all the prophets<S>5030</S> prophesied<S>5012</S> so<S>559</S>, saying, Go up<S>5927</S> to Ramoth<S>7433</S>–gilead, and prosper<S>6743</S>: for the Lord<S>3068</S> shall deliver<S>5414</S> it into the king<S>4428</S>'s hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And the messenger<S>4397</S> that was gone<S>1980</S> to call<S>7121</S> Micaiah<S>4321</S> spoke<S>1696</S> unto him<S>559</S>, saying, Behold now<S>1697</S>, the words of the prophets<S>5030</S> declare good<S>2896</S> unto the king<S>4428</S> with one<S>259</S> mouth<S>6310</S>: let your word<S>1697</S>, I pray you<S>1697</S>, be like the word of one<S>259</S> of them<S>1696</S>, and speak that which is good<S>2896</S>.


text:
And Micaiah<S>4321</S> said<S>559</S>, As the Lord<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, what the Lord<S>3068</S> says<S>559</S> unto me<S>1696</S>, that will I speak.


text:
So he came<S>935</S> to the king<S>4428</S>. And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>4321</S>, Micaiah, shall we go<S>3212</S> against Ramoth<S>7433</S>–gilead to battle<S>4421</S>, or shall we forbear<S>2308</S>? And he answered<S>559</S> him<S>5927</S>, Go, and prosper<S>6743</S>: for the Lord<S>3068</S> shall deliver<S>5414</S> it into the hand<S>3027</S> of the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>6471</S>, How many times shall I adjure<S>7650</S> you that you tell<S>1696</S> me nothing but that which is true<S>571</S> in the name<S>8034</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>?


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, I saw<S>7200</S> all Israel<S>3478</S> scattered<S>6327</S> upon the hills<S>2022</S>, as sheep<S>6629</S> that have not a shepherd<S>7462</S>: and the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S>, These have no master<S>113</S>: let them return<S>7725</S> every man<S>376</S> to his house<S>1004</S> in peace<S>7965</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> unto Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, Did I not tell<S>559</S> you that he would prophesy<S>5012</S> no good<S>2896</S> concerning me<S>7451</S>, but evil?


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Hear<S>8085</S> you therefore the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>: I saw<S>7200</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> sitting<S>3427</S> on his throne<S>3678</S>, and all the army<S>6635</S> of heaven<S>8064</S> standing<S>5975</S> by him on his right hand<S>3225</S> and on his left<S>8040</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S>, Who shall persuade<S>6601</S> Ahab<S>256</S>, that he may go up<S>5927</S> and fall<S>5307</S> at Ramoth<S>7433</S>–gilead? And one said<S>559</S> on this manner<S>3541</S>, and another said<S>559</S> on that manner<S>3541</S>.


text:
And there came forth<S>3318</S> a spirit<S>7307</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, I will persuade him<S>6601</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>559</S>, With Which? And he said, I will go forth<S>3318</S>, and I will be a lying<S>8267</S> spirit<S>7307</S> in the mouth<S>6310</S> of all his prophets<S>5030</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, You shall persuade<S>6601</S> him<S>3201</S>, and prevail also<S>3318</S>: go forth, and do so<S>6213</S>.


text:
Now therefore<S>3068</S>, behold, the Lord has put<S>5414</S> a lying<S>8267</S> spirit<S>7307</S> in the mouth<S>6310</S> of all these your prophets<S>5030</S>, and the Lord<S>3068</S> has spoken<S>1696</S> evil concerning you<S>7451</S>.


text:
But Zedekiah<S>6667</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Chenaanah<S>3668</S> went near<S>5066</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> Micaiah<S>4321</S> on the cheek<S>3895</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Which way<S>335</S> went<S>5674</S> the Spirit<S>7307</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> from me to speak unto you<S>1696</S>?


text:
And Micaiah<S>4321</S> said<S>559</S>, Behold<S>7200</S>, you shall see in that day<S>3117</S>, when you shall go<S>935</S> into an inner<S>2315</S> chamber<S>2315</S> to hide yourself<S>2247</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S>, Take<S>3947</S> Micaiah<S>4321</S>, and carry him back<S>7725</S> unto Amon<S>526</S> the governor<S>8269</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and to Joash<S>3101</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s son<S>1121</S>;


text:
And say<S>559</S>, Thus says<S>559</S> the king<S>4428</S>, Put<S>7760</S> this fellow in the prison<S>1004</S>, and feed<S>398</S> him with bread<S>3899</S> of affliction<S>3906</S> and with water<S>4325</S> of affliction<S>3906</S>, until I come<S>935</S> in peace<S>7965</S>.


text:
And Micaiah<S>4321</S> said<S>559</S>, If you return<S>7725</S> at all<S>7725</S> in peace<S>7965</S>, the Lord<S>3068</S> has not spoken<S>1696</S> by me<S>559</S>. And he said, Listen<S>8085</S>, O people<S>5971</S>, every one of you.


text:
So the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> went up<S>5927</S> to Ramoth<S>7433</S>–gilead.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S> unto Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, I will disguise<S>2664</S> myself<S>935</S>, and enter into the battle<S>4421</S>; but put you on<S>3847</S> your robes<S>899</S>. And the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> disguised<S>2664</S> himself<S>935</S>, and went into the battle<S>4421</S>.


text:
But the king<S>4428</S> of Syria<S>758</S> commanded<S>6680</S> his thirty<S>7970</S> and two<S>8147</S> captains<S>8269</S> that had rule over his chariots<S>7393</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Fight<S>3898</S> neither with small<S>6996</S> nor great<S>1419</S>, save only with the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>8269</S>, when the captains of the chariots<S>7393</S> saw<S>7200</S> Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, that they said<S>559</S>, Surely it is the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>. And they turned aside<S>5493</S> to fight<S>3898</S> against him<S>3092</S>: and Jehoshaphat cried out<S>2199</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>8269</S>, when the captains of the chariots<S>7393</S> perceived<S>7200</S> that it was not the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, that they turned back<S>7725</S> from pursuing him<S>310</S>.


text:
And a certain man<S>376</S> drew<S>4900</S> a bow<S>7198</S> at a venture<S>8537</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> between the joints<S>1694</S> of the harness<S>8302</S>: why he said<S>559</S> unto the driver of his chariot<S>7395</S>, Turn<S>2015</S> your hand<S>3027</S>, and carry me out<S>3318</S> of the army<S>4264</S>; for I am wounded<S>2470</S>.


text:
And the battle<S>4421</S> increased<S>5927</S> that day<S>3117</S>: and the king<S>4428</S> was stayed up<S>5975</S> in his chariot<S>4818</S> against<S>5227</S> the Syrians<S>758</S>, and died<S>4191</S> at even<S>6153</S>: and the blood<S>1818</S> ran out<S>3332</S> of the wound<S>4347</S> into the middle<S>2436</S> of the chariot<S>7393</S>.


text:
And there went<S>5674</S> a proclamation<S>7440</S> throughout the army<S>4264</S> about the going down<S>935</S> of the sun<S>8121</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Every man<S>376</S> to his city<S>5892</S>, and every man<S>376</S> to his own country<S>776</S>.


text:
So the king<S>4428</S> died<S>4191</S>, and was brought<S>935</S> to Samaria<S>8111</S>; and they buried<S>6912</S> the king<S>4428</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S>.


text:
And one washed<S>7857</S> the chariot<S>7393</S> in the pool<S>1295</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>; and the dogs<S>3611</S> licked up<S>3952</S> his blood<S>1818</S>; and they washed<S>7364</S> his armor<S>2185</S>; according unto the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> which he spoke<S>1696</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Ahab<S>256</S>, and all that he did<S>6213</S>, and the ivory<S>8127</S> house<S>1004</S> which he made<S>1129</S>, and all the cities<S>5892</S> that he built<S>1129</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
So Ahab<S>256</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>; and Ahaziah<S>274</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his stead<S>4427</S>.


text:
And Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Asa<S>609</S> began to reign<S>4427</S> over Judah<S>3063</S> in the fourth<S>702</S> year<S>8141</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> was thirty<S>7970</S> and five<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S> old<S>1121</S> when he began to reign<S>4427</S>; and he reigned<S>4427</S> twenty<S>6242</S> and five<S>2568</S> years<S>8141</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>. And his mother<S>517</S>'s name<S>8034</S> was Azubah<S>5806</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Shilhi<S>7977</S>.


text:
And he walked<S>3212</S> in all the ways<S>1870</S> of Asa<S>609</S> his father<S>1</S>; he turned not aside<S>5493</S> from it<S>6213</S>, doing that which was right<S>3477</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>: nevertheless the high places<S>1116</S> were not taken away<S>5493</S>; for the people<S>5971</S> offered<S>2076</S> and burnt incense<S>6999</S> yet in the high places<S>1116</S>.


text:
Now the rest<S>3499</S> of the acts<S>1697</S> of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, and his might<S>1369</S> that he showed<S>6213</S>, and how he warred<S>3898</S>, are they not written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>?


text:
And the remnant<S>3499</S> of the sodomites<S>6945</S>, which remained<S>7604</S> in the days<S>3117</S> of his father<S>1</S> Asa<S>609</S>, he took<S>1197</S> out of the land<S>776</S>.


text:
Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> made<S>6213</S> ships<S>591</S> of Tharshish<S>8659</S> to go<S>3212</S> to Ophir<S>211</S> for gold<S>2091</S>: but they went<S>1980</S> not<S>591</S>; for the ships were broken<S>7665</S> at Ezion<S>6100</S>–geber.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Ahaziah<S>274</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> unto Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S>, Let my servants<S>5650</S> go<S>3212</S> with your servants<S>5650</S> in the ships<S>591</S>. But Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> would not<S>14</S>.


text:
And Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> slept<S>7901</S> with his fathers<S>1</S>, and was buried<S>6912</S> with his fathers<S>1</S> in the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>: and Jehoram<S>3088</S> his son<S>1121</S> reigned in his stead<S>4427</S>.


text:
Ahaziah<S>274</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahab<S>256</S> began to reign<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S> in Samaria<S>8111</S> the seventeenth<S>7651</S> year<S>8141</S> of Jehoshaphat<S>3092</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and reigned<S>4427</S> two years<S>8141</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And he did<S>6213</S> evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and walked<S>3212</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of his father<S>1</S>, and in the way<S>1870</S> of his mother<S>517</S>, and in the way<S>1870</S> of Jeroboam<S>3379</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nebat<S>5028</S>, who made Israel<S>3478</S> to sin<S>2398</S>:


text:
For he served<S>5647</S> Baal<S>1168</S>, and worshiped<S>7812</S> him<S>3707</S>, and provoked to anger the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, according to all that his father<S>1</S> had done<S>6213</S>.


text:
And Solomon<S>8010</S> made a marriage contract<S>2859</S> with Pharaoh<S>6547</S> king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>, and took<S>3947</S> Pharaoh<S>6547</S>'s daughter<S>1323</S>, and brought<S>935</S> her into the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>, until he had made an end<S>3615</S> of building<S>1129</S> his own house<S>1004</S>, and the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and the wall<S>2346</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> round about<S>5439</S>.


text:
Only the people<S>5971</S> sacrificed<S>2076</S> in high places<S>1116</S>, because there was no house<S>1004</S> built<S>1129</S> unto the name<S>8034</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, until those days<S>3117</S>.


text:
And Solomon<S>8010</S> loved<S>157</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, walking<S>3212</S> in the statutes<S>2708</S> of David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S>: only he sacrificed<S>2076</S> and burnt incense<S>6999</S> in high places<S>1116</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> went<S>3212</S> to Gibeon<S>1391</S> to sacrifice<S>2076</S> there<S>1931</S>; for that was the great<S>1419</S> high place<S>1116</S>: a thousand<S>505</S> burnt offerings<S>5930</S> did Solomon<S>8010</S> offer<S>5927</S> upon that altar<S>4196</S>.

In Gibeon<S>1391</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> appeared<S>7200</S> to Solomon<S>8010</S> in a dream<S>2472</S> by night<S>3915</S>: and God<S>430</S> said<S>559</S>, Ask<S>7592</S> what I shall give you<S>5414</S>.


text:
And Solomon<S>8010</S> said<S>559</S>, You have showed<S>6213</S> unto your servant<S>5650</S> David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S> great<S>1419</S> mercy<S>2617</S>, according as he walked<S>1980</S> before<S>6440</S> you in truth<S>571</S>, and in righteousness<S>6666</S>, and in uprightness<S>3483</S> of heart<S>3824</S> with you<S>8104</S>; and you have kept for him this great<S>1419</S> kindness<S>2617</S>, that you have given<S>5414</S> him a son<S>1121</S> to sit<S>3427</S> on his throne<S>3678</S>, as it is this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And now<S>3068</S>, O Lord my God<S>430</S>, you have made your servant<S>5650</S> king<S>4427</S> instead of David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S>: and I am but a little<S>6996</S> child<S>5288</S>: I know<S>3045</S> not how to go out<S>3318</S> or come in<S>935</S>.


text:
And your servant<S>5650</S> is in the middle<S>8432</S> of your people<S>5971</S> which you have chosen<S>977</S>, a great<S>7227</S> people<S>5971</S>, that cannot be numbered<S>4487</S> nor counted<S>5608</S> for multitude<S>7230</S>.


text:
Give<S>5414</S> therefore your servant<S>5650</S> an understanding<S>8085</S> heart<S>3820</S> to judge<S>8199</S> your people<S>5971</S>, that I may discern<S>995</S> between good<S>2896</S> and bad<S>7451</S>: for who is able<S>3201</S> to judge<S>8199</S> this your so great<S>3515</S> a people<S>5971</S>?


text:
And the speech<S>1697</S> pleased<S>3190</S> the Lord<S>136</S>, that Solomon<S>8010</S> had asked<S>7592</S> this thing<S>1697</S>.


text:
And God<S>430</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>7592</S>, Because you have asked this thing<S>1697</S>, and have not asked<S>7592</S> for yourself long<S>7227</S> life<S>3117</S>; neither have asked<S>7592</S> riches<S>6239</S> for yourself<S>7592</S>, nor have asked the life<S>5315</S> of your enemies<S>341</S>; but have asked<S>7592</S> for yourself understanding<S>995</S> to discern<S>8085</S> judgment<S>4941</S>;


text:
Behold<S>6213</S>, I have done according to your words<S>1697</S>: behold<S>5414</S>, I have given you a wise<S>2450</S> and an understanding<S>995</S> heart<S>3820</S>; so that there was none like you before<S>6440</S> you<S>310</S>, neither after you shall any arise like unto you<S>6965</S>.


text:
And I have also given<S>5414</S> you that which you have not asked<S>7592</S>, both riches<S>6239</S>, and honor<S>3519</S>: so that there shall not be any<S>376</S> among the kings<S>4428</S> like unto you all your days<S>3117</S>.


text:
And if you will walk<S>3212</S> in my ways<S>1870</S>, to keep<S>8104</S> my statutes<S>2706</S> and my commandments<S>4687</S>, as your father<S>1</S> David<S>1732</S> did walk<S>1980</S>, then I will lengthen<S>748</S> your days<S>3117</S>.


text:
And Solomon<S>8010</S> awoke<S>3364</S>; and<S>2472</S>, behold, it was a dream. And he came<S>935</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and offered up<S>5927</S> burnt offerings<S>5930</S>, and offered<S>6213</S> peace offerings<S>8002</S>, and made<S>6213</S> a feast<S>4960</S> to all his servants<S>5650</S>.


text:
Then came<S>935</S> there two<S>8147</S> women<S>802</S>, that were harlots<S>2181</S>, unto the king<S>4428</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
And the one<S>259</S> woman<S>802</S> said<S>559</S>, O<S>994</S> my lord<S>113</S>, I and this woman<S>802</S> live<S>3427</S> in one<S>259</S> house<S>1004</S>; and I was delivered of a child<S>3205</S> with her in the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And it came to pass the third<S>7992</S> day<S>3117</S> after that I was delivered<S>3205</S>, that this woman<S>802</S> was delivered<S>3205</S> also<S>3162</S>: and we were together; there was no stranger<S>2114</S> with us in the house<S>1004</S>, save<S>2108</S> we two<S>8147</S> in the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And this woman<S>802</S>'s child<S>1121</S> died<S>4191</S> in the night<S>3915</S>; because she laid on it<S>7901</S>.


text:
And she arose<S>6965</S> at midnight<S>8432</S>, and took<S>3947</S> my son<S>1121</S> from beside<S>681</S> me<S>519</S>, while your handmaid slept<S>3463</S>, and laid<S>7901</S> it in her bosom<S>2436</S>, and laid<S>7901</S> her dead<S>4191</S> child<S>1121</S> in my bosom<S>2436</S>.


text:
And when I rose<S>6965</S> in the morning<S>1242</S> to give my child<S>1121</S> suck<S>3243</S>, behold<S>4191</S>, it was dead: but when I had considered<S>995</S> it in the morning<S>1242</S>, behold<S>1121</S>, it was not my son, which I did carry<S>3205</S>.


text:
And the other<S>312</S> woman<S>802</S> said<S>559</S>, No<S>2416</S>; but the living is my son<S>1121</S>, and the dead<S>4191</S> is your son<S>1121</S>. And this said<S>559</S>, No<S>4191</S>; but the dead is your son<S>1121</S>, and the living<S>2416</S> is my son<S>1121</S>. Thus they spoke<S>1696</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> the king<S>4428</S>, The one<S>2063</S> says<S>559</S>, This is my son<S>1121</S> that lives<S>2416</S>, and your son<S>1121</S> is the dead<S>4191</S>: and the other<S>2063</S> says<S>559</S>, No<S>1121</S>; but your son is the dead<S>4191</S>, and my son<S>1121</S> is the living<S>2416</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, Bring<S>3947</S> me a sword<S>2719</S>. And they brought<S>935</S> a sword<S>2719</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, Divide<S>1504</S> the living<S>2416</S> child<S>3206</S> in two<S>8147</S>, and give<S>5414</S> half<S>2677</S> to the one<S>259</S>, and half<S>2677</S> to the other<S>259</S>.


text:
Then spoke<S>559</S> the woman<S>802</S> whose the living<S>2416</S> child<S>1121</S> was spoke unto the king<S>4428</S>, for her bowels<S>7356</S> yearned<S>3648</S> upon her son<S>1121</S>, and she said<S>559</S>, O<S>994</S> my lord<S>113</S>, give<S>5414</S> her the living<S>2416</S> child<S>3205</S>, and in no wise<S>4191</S> kill<S>4191</S> it<S>559</S>. But the other said, Let it be neither mine nor yours<S>1504</S>, but divide it.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, Give<S>5414</S> her the living<S>2416</S> child<S>3205</S>, and in no wise<S>4191</S> kill<S>4191</S> it<S>517</S>: she is the mother.


text:
And all Israel<S>3478</S> heard<S>8085</S> of the judgment<S>4941</S> which the king<S>4428</S> had judged<S>8199</S>; and they feared<S>3372</S> the king<S>6440</S>: for they saw<S>7200</S> that the wisdom<S>2451</S> of God<S>430</S> was in him<S>7130</S>, to do<S>6213</S> judgment<S>4941</S>.

And there came<S>935</S> of all people<S>5971</S> to hear<S>8085</S> the wisdom<S>2451</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>, from all kings<S>4428</S> of the earth<S>776</S>, which had heard<S>8085</S> of his wisdom<S>2451</S>.


text:
And Hiram<S>2438</S> king<S>4428</S> of Tyre<S>6865</S> sent<S>7971</S> his servants<S>5650</S> unto Solomon<S>8010</S>; for he had heard<S>8085</S> that they had anointed<S>4886</S> him king<S>4428</S> in the room of his father<S>1</S>: for Hiram<S>2438</S> was ever<S>3117</S> a lover<S>157</S> of David<S>1732</S>.


text:
You know<S>3045</S> how that David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S> could<S>3201</S> not build<S>1129</S> an house<S>1004</S> unto the name<S>8034</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> his God<S>430</S> for<S>6440</S> the wars<S>4421</S> which were about him on every side<S>5437</S>, until the Lord<S>3068</S> put<S>5414</S> them under the soles<S>3709</S> of his feet<S>7272</S>.


text:
But now the Lord<S>3068</S> my God<S>430</S> has given me rest<S>5117</S> on every side<S>5439</S>, so that there is neither adversary<S>7854</S> nor evil<S>7451</S> occurrent<S>6294</S>.


text:
And<S>559</S>, behold, I purpose to build<S>1129</S> an house<S>1004</S> unto the name<S>8034</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> my God<S>430</S>, as the Lord<S>3068</S> spoke<S>1696</S> unto David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Your son<S>1121</S>, whom I will set<S>5414</S> upon your throne<S>3678</S> in your room<S>1129</S>, he shall build an house<S>1004</S> unto my name<S>8034</S>.

Now therefore command<S>6680</S> you that they hew<S>3772</S> me cedar trees<S>730</S> out of Lebanon<S>3844</S>; and my servants<S>5650</S> shall be with your servants<S>5650</S>: and unto you will I give<S>5414</S> hire<S>7939</S> for your servants<S>5650</S> according to all that you shall appoint<S>559</S>: for you know<S>3045</S> that there is not among us any<S>376</S> that can skill<S>3045</S> to hew<S>3772</S> timber<S>6086</S> like unto the Sidonians<S>6722</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>2438</S>, when Hiram heard<S>8085</S> the words<S>1697</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>, that he rejoiced<S>8055</S> greatly<S>3966</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Blessed<S>1288</S> be the Lord<S>3068</S> this day<S>3117</S>, which has given<S>5414</S> unto David<S>1732</S> a wise<S>2450</S> son<S>1121</S> over this great<S>7227</S> people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And Hiram<S>2438</S> sent<S>7971</S> to Solomon<S>8010</S>, saying<S>559</S>, I have considered<S>8085</S> the things which you sent<S>7971</S> to me for<S>6213</S>: and I will do all your desire<S>2656</S> concerning timber<S>6086</S> of cedar<S>730</S>, and concerning timber<S>6086</S> of fir<S>1265</S>.


text:
My servants<S>5650</S> shall bring them down<S>3381</S> from Lebanon<S>3844</S> unto the sea<S>3220</S>: and I will convey<S>7760</S> them by sea<S>3220</S> in floats<S>1702</S> unto the place<S>4725</S> that you shall appoint<S>7971</S> me<S>5310</S>, and will cause them to be discharged there<S>5375</S>, and you shall receive them<S>6213</S>: and you shall accomplish my desire<S>2656</S>, in giving<S>5414</S> food<S>3899</S> for my household<S>1004</S>.


text:
So Hiram<S>2438</S> gave<S>5414</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> cedar<S>730</S> trees<S>6086</S> and fir<S>1265</S> trees<S>6086</S> according to all his desire<S>2656</S>.


text:
And Solomon<S>8010</S> gave<S>5414</S> Hiram<S>2438</S> twenty<S>6242</S> thousand<S>505</S> measures<S>3734</S> of wheat<S>2406</S> for food<S>4361</S> to his household<S>1004</S>, and twenty<S>6242</S> measures<S>3734</S> of pure<S>3795</S> oil<S>8081</S>: thus gave<S>5414</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> to Hiram<S>2438</S> year<S>8141</S> by year<S>8141</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> gave<S>5414</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> wisdom<S>2451</S>, as he promised<S>1696</S> him<S>7965</S>: and there was peace between Hiram<S>2438</S> and Solomon<S>8010</S>; and they two<S>8147</S> made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> together<S>8147</S>.


text:
And king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> raised<S>5927</S> a levy<S>4522</S> out of all Israel<S>3478</S>; and the levy<S>4522</S> was thirty<S>7970</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S>.


text:
And he sent<S>7971</S> them to Lebanon<S>3844</S>, ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> a month<S>2320</S> by courses<S>2487</S>: a month<S>2320</S> they were in Lebanon<S>3844</S>, and two<S>8147</S> months<S>2320</S> at home<S>1004</S>: and Adoniram<S>141</S> was over the levy<S>4522</S>.


text:
And Solomon<S>8010</S> had sixty and ten<S>7657</S> thousand<S>505</S> that bore<S>5375</S> burdens<S>5449</S>, and eighty<S>8084</S> thousand<S>505</S> hewers<S>2672</S> in the mountains<S>2022</S>;


text:
Beside the chief<S>8269</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>'s officers<S>5324</S> which were over the work<S>4399</S>, three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> and three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S>, which ruled<S>7287</S> over the people<S>5971</S> that worked<S>6213</S> in the work<S>4399</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> commanded<S>6680</S>, and they brought<S>5265</S> great<S>1419</S> stones<S>68</S>, costly<S>3368</S> stones<S>68</S>, and hewed<S>1496</S> stones<S>68</S>, to lay the foundation<S>3245</S> of the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And Solomon<S>8010</S>'s builders<S>1129</S> and Hiram<S>2438</S>'s builders<S>1129</S> did hew<S>6458</S> them<S>1382</S>, and the stonesquarers: so they prepared<S>3559</S> timber<S>6086</S> and stones<S>68</S> to build<S>1129</S> the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And it came to pass in the four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> and eightieth<S>8084</S> year<S>8141</S> after the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were come out<S>3318</S> of the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>, in the fourth<S>7243</S> year<S>8141</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>'s reign<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>, in the month<S>2320</S> Zif<S>2099</S>, which is the second<S>8145</S> month<S>2320</S>, that he began to build<S>1129</S> the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the house<S>1004</S> which king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> built<S>1129</S> for the Lord<S>3068</S>, the length<S>753</S> there was sixty<S>8346</S> cubits<S>520</S>, and the breadth<S>7341</S> there twenty<S>6242</S> cubits<S>6967</S>, and the height there thirty<S>7970</S> cubits<S>520</S>.


text:
And the porch<S>197</S> before<S>6440</S> the temple<S>1964</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, twenty<S>6242</S> cubits<S>520</S> was the length<S>753</S> there<S>7341</S>, according to the breadth of the house<S>1004</S>; and ten<S>6235</S> cubits<S>520</S> was the breadth<S>7341</S> there before the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And for the house<S>1004</S> he made<S>6213</S> windows<S>2474</S> of narrow<S>331</S> lights<S>8261</S>.


text:
And against the wall<S>7023</S> of the house<S>1004</S> he built<S>1129</S> chambers<S>3326</S> round about<S>5439</S>, against the walls<S>7023</S> of the house<S>1004</S> round about<S>5439</S>, both of the temple<S>1964</S> and of the oracle<S>1687</S>: and he made<S>6213</S> chambers<S>6763</S> round about<S>5439</S>:


text:
The nethermost<S>8481</S> chamber<S>3326</S> was five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S> broad<S>7341</S>, and the middle<S>8484</S> was six<S>8337</S> cubits<S>520</S> broad<S>7341</S>, and the third<S>7992</S> was seven<S>7651</S> cubits<S>520</S> broad<S>7341</S>: for outside in the wall of<S>2351</S> the house<S>1004</S> he made<S>5414</S> narrowed rests<S>4052</S> round about<S>5439</S>, that the beams should not be fastened<S>270</S> in the walls<S>7023</S> of the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And the house<S>1004</S>, when it was in building<S>1129</S>, was built<S>1129</S> of stone<S>68</S> made ready<S>8003</S> before it was brought<S>4551</S> there<S>4717</S>: so that there was neither hammer nor axe<S>1631</S> nor any tool<S>3627</S> of iron<S>1270</S> heard<S>8085</S> in the house<S>1004</S>, while it was in building<S>1129</S>.


text:
The door<S>6607</S> for the middle<S>8484</S> chamber<S>6763</S> was in the right<S>3233</S> side<S>3802</S> of the house<S>1004</S>: and they went up<S>5927</S> with winding stairs<S>3883</S> into the middle<S>8484</S> chamber<S>8484</S>, and out of the middle into the third<S>7992</S>.


text:
So he built<S>1129</S> the house<S>1004</S>, and finished<S>3615</S> it<S>5603</S>; and covered the house<S>1004</S> with beams<S>1356</S> and boards<S>7713</S> of cedar<S>730</S>.


text:
And then he built<S>1129</S> chambers<S>3326</S> against all the house<S>1004</S>, five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S> high<S>6967</S>: and they rested<S>270</S> on the house<S>1004</S> with timber<S>6086</S> of cedar<S>730</S>.


text:
Concerning this house<S>1004</S> which you are in building<S>1129</S>, if you will walk<S>3212</S> in my statutes<S>2708</S>, and execute<S>6213</S> my judgments<S>4941</S>, and keep<S>8104</S> all my commandments<S>4687</S> to walk<S>3212</S> in them<S>6965</S>; then will I perform my word<S>1697</S> with you<S>1696</S>, which I spoke unto David<S>1732</S> your father<S>1</S>:


text:
And I will live<S>7931</S> among<S>8432</S> the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and will not forsake<S>5800</S> my people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And he built<S>1129</S> the walls<S>7023</S> of the house<S>1004</S> inside<S>1004</S> with boards<S>6763</S> of cedar<S>730</S>, both the floor<S>7172</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, and the walls<S>7023</S> of the ceiling<S>5604</S>: and he covered<S>6823</S> them on the inside<S>1004</S> with wood<S>6086</S>, and covered<S>6823</S> the floor<S>7172</S> of the house<S>1004</S> with planks<S>6763</S> of fir<S>1265</S>.


text:
And he built<S>1129</S> twenty<S>6242</S> cubits<S>520</S> on the sides<S>3411</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, both<S>4480</S> the floor<S>7172</S> and the walls<S>7023</S> with boards<S>6763</S> of cedar<S>730</S>: he even built<S>1129</S> them for it inside<S>1004</S>, even for the oracle<S>1687</S>, even for the most<S>6944</S> holy place<S>6944</S>.


text:
And the house<S>1004</S>, that is<S>1964</S>, the temple before<S>3942</S> it<S>705</S>, was forty cubits long<S>520</S>.


text:
And the cedar<S>730</S> of the house<S>1004</S> inside<S>6441</S> was carved<S>4734</S> with buds<S>6497</S> and open<S>6362</S> flowers<S>6731</S>: all was cedar<S>730</S>; there was no stone<S>68</S> seen<S>7200</S>.


text:
And the oracle<S>1687</S> he prepared<S>3559</S> in<S>8432</S> the house<S>1004</S> inside<S>6441</S>, to set<S>5414</S> there the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the oracle<S>1687</S> in the front<S>6440</S> was twenty<S>6242</S> cubits<S>520</S> in length<S>753</S>, and twenty<S>6242</S> cubits<S>520</S> in breadth<S>7341</S>, and twenty<S>6242</S> cubits<S>520</S> in the height<S>6967</S> there<S>6823</S>: and he overlaid it with pure<S>5462</S> gold<S>2091</S>; and so covered<S>6823</S> the altar<S>4196</S> which was of cedar<S>730</S>.


text:
So Solomon<S>8010</S> overlaid<S>6823</S> the house<S>1004</S> inside<S>6441</S> with pure<S>5462</S> gold<S>2091</S>: and he made a partition<S>5674</S> by the chains<S>7572</S> of gold<S>2091</S> before<S>6440</S> the oracle<S>1687</S>; and he overlaid<S>6823</S> it with gold<S>2091</S>.


text:
And the whole house<S>1004</S> he overlaid<S>6823</S> with gold<S>2091</S>, until he had finished<S>8552</S> all the house<S>1004</S>: also the whole altar<S>4196</S> that was by the oracle<S>1687</S> he overlaid<S>6823</S> with gold<S>2091</S>.


text:
And inside the oracle<S>1687</S> he made<S>6213</S> two<S>8147</S> cherubims<S>3742</S> of olive<S>8081</S> tree<S>6086</S>, each ten<S>6235</S> cubits<S>520</S> high<S>6967</S>.


text:
And five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S> was the one<S>259</S> wing<S>3671</S> of the cherub<S>3742</S>, and five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S> the other<S>8145</S> wing<S>3671</S> of the cherub<S>3742</S>: from the outermost part<S>7098</S> of the one wing<S>3671</S> unto the outermost part<S>7098</S> of the other<S>3671</S> were ten<S>6235</S> cubits<S>520</S>.


text:
And the other<S>8145</S> cherub<S>3742</S> was ten<S>6235</S> cubits<S>520</S>: both<S>8147</S> the cherubims<S>3742</S> were of one<S>259</S> measure<S>4060</S> and one<S>259</S> size<S>7095</S>.


text:
The height<S>6967</S> of the one<S>259</S> cherub<S>3742</S> was ten<S>6235</S> cubits<S>520</S>, and so was it of the other<S>8145</S> cherub<S>3742</S>.


text:
And he set<S>5414</S> the cherubims<S>3742</S> inside<S>8432</S> the inner<S>6442</S> house<S>1004</S>: and they stretched forth<S>6566</S> the wings<S>3671</S> of the cherubims<S>3742</S>, so that the wing<S>3671</S> of the one<S>259</S> touched<S>5060</S> the one wall<S>7023</S>, and the wing<S>3671</S> of the other<S>8145</S> cherub<S>3742</S> touched<S>5060</S> the other<S>8145</S> wall<S>7023</S>; and their wings<S>3671</S> touched<S>5060</S> one<S>3671</S> another<S>3671</S> in the middle<S>8432</S> of the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And he carved<S>7049</S> all the walls<S>7023</S> of the house<S>1004</S> round about<S>4524</S> with carved<S>6603</S> figures<S>4734</S> of cherubims<S>3742</S> and palm trees<S>8561</S> and open<S>6362</S> flowers<S>6731</S>, inside<S>6441</S> and outside<S>2435</S>.


text:
And the floor<S>7172</S> of the house<S>1004</S> he overlaid<S>6823</S> with gold<S>2091</S>, inside<S>6441</S> and outside<S>2435</S>.


text:
And for the entering<S>6607</S> of the oracle<S>1687</S> he made<S>6213</S> doors<S>1817</S> of olive<S>8081</S> tree<S>6086</S>: the lintel<S>352</S> and side posts<S>4201</S> were a fifth part of the wall<S>2549</S>.


text:
The two<S>8147</S> doors<S>1817</S> also were of olive<S>8081</S> tree<S>6086</S>; and he carved<S>7049</S> upon them carvings<S>4734</S> of cherubims<S>3742</S> and palm trees<S>8561</S> and open<S>6362</S> flowers<S>6731</S>, and overlaid<S>6823</S> them with gold<S>2091</S>, and spread<S>7286</S> gold<S>2091</S> upon the cherubims<S>3742</S>, and upon the palm trees<S>8561</S>.


text:
So also made<S>6213</S> he for the door<S>6607</S> of the temple<S>1964</S> posts<S>4201</S> of olive<S>8081</S> tree<S>6086</S>, a fourth part of the wall<S>7243</S>.


text:
And the two<S>8147</S> doors<S>1817</S> were of fir<S>1265</S> tree<S>6086</S>: the two<S>8147</S> leaves<S>6763</S> of the one<S>259</S> door<S>1817</S> were folding<S>1550</S>, and the two<S>8147</S> leaves<S>7050</S> of the other<S>8145</S> door<S>1817</S> were folding<S>1550</S>.


text:
And he carved<S>7049</S> on it cherubims<S>3742</S> and palm trees<S>8561</S> and open<S>6362</S> flowers<S>6731</S>: and covered<S>6823</S> them with gold<S>2091</S> fitted<S>3474</S> upon the carved work<S>2707</S>.


text:
And he built<S>1129</S> the inner<S>6442</S> court<S>2691</S> with three<S>7969</S> rows<S>2905</S> of hewed stone<S>1496</S>, and a row<S>2905</S> of cedar<S>730</S> beams<S>3773</S>.


text:
In the fourth<S>7243</S> year<S>8141</S> was the foundation<S>3245</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> laid<S>3245</S>, in the month<S>3391</S> Zif<S>2099</S>:


text:
And in the eleventh<S>259</S> year<S>8141</S>, in the month<S>3391</S> Bul<S>945</S>, which is the eighth<S>8066</S> month<S>2320</S>, was the house<S>1004</S> finished<S>3615</S> throughout all the parts<S>1697</S> there<S>4941</S>, and according to all the fashion of it<S>7651</S>. So was he seven years<S>8141</S> in building it<S>1129</S>.


text:
But Solomon<S>8010</S> was building<S>1129</S> his own house<S>1004</S> thirteen<S>7969</S> years<S>8141</S>, and he finished<S>3615</S> all his house<S>1004</S>.


text:
He built<S>1129</S> also the house<S>1004</S> of the forest<S>3293</S> of Lebanon<S>3844</S>; the length<S>753</S> there was a hundred<S>3967</S> cubits<S>520</S>, and the breadth<S>7341</S> there fifty<S>2572</S> cubits<S>520</S>, and the height<S>6967</S> there thirty<S>7970</S> cubits<S>520</S>, upon four<S>702</S> rows<S>2905</S> of cedar<S>730</S> pillars<S>5982</S>, with cedar<S>730</S> beams<S>3773</S> upon the pillars<S>5982</S>.


text:
And it was covered<S>5603</S> with cedar<S>730</S> above<S>4605</S> upon the beams<S>6763</S>, that lay on forty<S>705</S> five<S>2568</S> pillars<S>5982</S>, fifteen<S>6240</S> in a row<S>2905</S>.


text:
And there were windows<S>8261</S> in three<S>7969</S> rows<S>2905</S>, and window<S>4237</S> was against window<S>4237</S> in three<S>7969</S> ranks<S>6471</S>.

And all the doors<S>6607</S> and posts<S>4201</S> were square<S>7251</S>, with the windows<S>8260</S>: and window<S>4237</S> was against<S>4136</S> window<S>4237</S> in three<S>7969</S> ranks<S>6471</S>.

And he made<S>6213</S> a porch<S>197</S> of pillars<S>5982</S>; the length<S>753</S> there was fifty<S>2572</S> cubits<S>520</S>, and the breadth<S>7341</S> there thirty<S>7970</S> cubits<S>520</S>: and the porch<S>197</S> was before<S>6440</S> them<S>5982</S>: and the other pillars and the thick log were before them<S>5646</S>.


text:
Then he made<S>6213</S> a porch<S>197</S> for the throne<S>3678</S> where he might judge<S>8199</S>, even the porch<S>197</S> of judgment<S>4941</S>: and it was covered<S>5603</S> with cedar<S>730</S> from one side of the floor<S>7172</S> to the other<S>7172</S>.


text:
And his house<S>1004</S> where he lived<S>3427</S> had another<S>312</S> court<S>2691</S> inside<S>1004</S> the porch<S>197</S>, which was of the like work<S>4639</S>. Solomon<S>8010</S> made<S>6213</S> also an house<S>1004</S> for Pharaoh<S>6547</S>'s daughter<S>1323</S>, whom he had taken<S>3947</S> to wife<S>197</S>, like unto this porch.


text:
All these were of costly<S>3368</S> stones<S>68</S>, according to the measures<S>4060</S> of hewed stones<S>1496</S>, sawed<S>1641</S> with saws<S>4050</S>, inside<S>1004</S> and outside<S>2351</S>, even from the foundation<S>4527</S> unto the coping<S>2947</S>, and so on the outside<S>2351</S> toward the great<S>1419</S> court<S>2691</S>.


text:
And the foundation<S>3245</S> was of costly<S>3368</S> stones<S>68</S>, even great<S>1419</S> stones<S>68</S>, stones<S>68</S> of ten<S>6235</S> cubits<S>520</S>, and stones<S>68</S> of eight<S>8083</S> cubits<S>520</S>.


text:
And above<S>4605</S> were costly<S>3368</S> stones<S>68</S>, after the measures<S>4060</S> of hewed stones<S>1496</S>, and cedars<S>730</S>.


text:
And the great<S>1419</S> court<S>2691</S> round about<S>5439</S> was with three<S>7969</S> rows<S>2905</S> of hewed stones<S>1496</S>, and a row<S>2905</S> of cedar<S>730</S> beams<S>3773</S>, both for the inner<S>6442</S> court<S>2691</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and for the porch<S>197</S> of the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> sent<S>7971</S> and fetched<S>3947</S> Hiram<S>2438</S> out of Tyre<S>6865</S>.


text:
He was a widow<S>802</S>'s son<S>1121</S> of the tribe<S>4294</S> of Naphtali<S>5321</S>, and his father<S>1</S> was a man<S>376</S> of Tyre<S>6876</S>, a worker<S>2790</S> in brass<S>5178</S>: and he was filled<S>4390</S> with wisdom<S>2451</S>, and understanding<S>8394</S>, and skillful<S>1847</S> to work<S>6213</S> all works<S>4399</S> in brass<S>5178</S>. And he came<S>935</S> to king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>, and worked<S>6213</S> all his work<S>4399</S>.


text:
For he cast<S>6696</S> two<S>8147</S> pillars<S>5982</S> of brass<S>5178</S>, of eighteen<S>8083</S> cubits<S>520</S> high<S>6967</S> apiece<S>5982</S>: and a line<S>2339</S> of twelve<S>8147</S> cubits<S>520</S> did compass<S>5437</S> either<S>8145</S> of them about<S>5437</S>.


text:
And he made<S>6213</S> two<S>8147</S> capitals<S>3805</S> of molten<S>3332</S> brass<S>5178</S>, to set<S>5414</S> upon the tops<S>7218</S> of the pillars<S>5982</S>: the height<S>6967</S> of the one<S>259</S> capital<S>3805</S> was five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S>, and the height<S>6967</S> of the other<S>8145</S> capital<S>3805</S> was five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S>:


text:
And nets<S>7638</S> of checker<S>7639</S> work<S>4639</S>, and wreaths<S>1434</S> of chain<S>8333</S> work<S>4639</S>, for the capitals<S>3805</S> which were upon the top<S>7218</S> of the pillars<S>5982</S>; seven<S>7651</S> for the one<S>259</S> capital<S>3805</S>, and seven<S>7651</S> for the other<S>8145</S> capital<S>3805</S>.


text:
And he made<S>6213</S> the pillars<S>5982</S>, and two<S>8147</S> rows<S>2905</S> round about<S>5439</S> upon the one<S>259</S> network<S>7639</S>, to cover<S>3680</S> the capitals<S>3805</S> that were upon the top<S>7218</S>, with pomegranates<S>7416</S>: and so did<S>6213</S> he for the other<S>8145</S> capital<S>3805</S>.


text:
And the capitals<S>3805</S> that were upon the top<S>7218</S> of the pillars<S>5982</S> were of lily<S>7799</S> work<S>4639</S> in the porch<S>197</S>, four<S>702</S> cubits<S>520</S>.


text:
And the capitals<S>3805</S> upon the two<S>8147</S> pillars<S>5982</S> had pomegranates also above<S>4605</S>, over against<S>5980</S> the belly<S>990</S> which was by<S>5676</S> the network<S>7639</S>: and the pomegranates<S>7416</S> were two hundred<S>3967</S> in rows<S>2905</S> round about<S>5439</S> upon the other<S>8145</S> capital<S>3805</S>.


text:
And he set up<S>6965</S> the pillars<S>5982</S> in the porch<S>197</S> of the temple<S>1964</S>: and he set up<S>6965</S> the right<S>3233</S> pillar<S>5982</S>, and called<S>7121</S> the name<S>8034</S> there Jachin<S>3199</S>: and he set up<S>6965</S> the left<S>8042</S> pillar<S>5982</S>, and called<S>7121</S> the name<S>8034</S> there Boaz<S>1162</S>.


text:
And upon the top<S>7218</S> of the pillars<S>5982</S> was lily<S>7799</S> work<S>4639</S>: so was the work<S>4399</S> of the pillars<S>5982</S> finished<S>8552</S>.


text:
And he made<S>6213</S> a molten<S>3332</S> sea<S>3220</S>, ten<S>6235</S> cubits<S>520</S> from the one brim<S>8193</S> to the other<S>8193</S>: it was round<S>5696</S> all about<S>5439</S>, and his height<S>6967</S> was five<S>2568</S> cubits<S>520</S>: and a line<S>6957</S> of thirty<S>7970</S> cubits<S>520</S> did circle<S>5437</S> it round about<S>5439</S>.


text:
And under the brim<S>8193</S> of it round about<S>5439</S> there were buds<S>6497</S> circling<S>5437</S> it<S>6235</S>, ten in a cubit<S>520</S>, circling<S>5362</S> the sea<S>3220</S> round about<S>5439</S>: the buds<S>6497</S> were cast<S>3333</S> in two<S>8147</S> rows<S>2905</S>, when it was cast<S>3332</S>.


text:
It stood<S>5975</S> upon twelve<S>8147</S> oxen<S>1241</S>, three<S>7969</S> looking<S>6437</S> toward the north<S>6828</S>, and three<S>7969</S> looking<S>6437</S> toward the west<S>3220</S>, and three<S>7969</S> looking<S>6437</S> toward the south<S>5045</S>, and three<S>7969</S> looking<S>6437</S> toward the east<S>4217</S>: and the sea<S>3220</S> was set above<S>4605</S> upon them<S>268</S>, and all their hinder parts were inward<S>1004</S>.


text:
And it was a hand breadth<S>2947</S> thick<S>5672</S>, and the brim<S>8193</S> there was worked<S>4639</S> like the brim<S>8193</S> of a cup<S>3563</S>, with flowers<S>6525</S> of lilies<S>7799</S>: it contained<S>3557</S> two thousand<S>505</S> baths<S>1324</S>.


text:
And he made<S>6213</S> ten<S>6235</S> bases<S>4350</S> of brass<S>5178</S>; four<S>702</S> cubits<S>520</S> was the length<S>753</S> of one<S>259</S> base<S>4350</S>, and four<S>702</S> cubits<S>520</S> the breadth<S>7341</S> there<S>7969</S>, and three cubits<S>520</S> the height of it<S>6967</S>.


text:
And the work<S>4639</S> of the bases<S>4350</S> was on this manner<S>4526</S>: they had borders, and the borders<S>4526</S> were between the ledges<S>7948</S>:


text:
And on the borders<S>4526</S> that were between the ledges<S>7948</S> were lions<S>738</S>, oxen<S>1241</S>, and cherubims<S>3742</S>: and upon the ledges<S>7948</S> there was a base<S>3653</S> above<S>4605</S>: and beneath the lions<S>738</S> and oxen<S>1241</S> were certain additions<S>3914</S> made of thin<S>4174</S> work<S>4639</S>.


text:
And every<S>259</S> base<S>4350</S> had four<S>702</S> bronze<S>5178</S> wheels<S>212</S>, and plates<S>5633</S> of brass<S>5178</S>: and the four<S>702</S> corners<S>6471</S> there had supports<S>3802</S>: under the basin<S>3595</S> were supports<S>3802</S> cast<S>3332</S>, at the side<S>5676</S> of every<S>376</S> wreath<S>3914</S>.


text:
And the mouth<S>6310</S> of it inside<S>1004</S> the capital<S>3805</S> and above<S>4605</S> was a cubit<S>520</S>: but the mouth<S>6310</S> there was round<S>5696</S> after the work<S>4639</S> of the base<S>3653</S>, a cubit<S>520</S> and an half<S>2677</S>: and also upon the mouth<S>6310</S> of it were engravings<S>4734</S> with their borders<S>4526</S>, square<S>7251</S>, not round<S>5696</S>.


text:
And under<S>8478</S> the borders<S>4526</S> were four<S>702</S> wheels<S>212</S>; and the axletrees<S>3027</S> of the wheels<S>212</S> were joined to the base<S>4350</S>: and the height<S>6967</S> of a<S>259</S> wheel<S>212</S> was a cubit<S>520</S> and half<S>2677</S> a cubit<S>520</S>.


text:
And the work<S>4639</S> of the wheels<S>212</S> was like the work<S>4639</S> of a chariot<S>4818</S> wheel<S>212</S>: their axles<S>3027</S>, and their rims<S>1354</S>, and their spokes<S>2839</S>, and their hubs<S>2840</S>, were all cast<S>3332</S>.


text:
And there were four<S>702</S> supports<S>3802</S> to the four<S>702</S> corners<S>6438</S> of one<S>259</S> base<S>4350</S>: and the supports<S>3802</S> were of the very base itself<S>4350</S>.


text:
And in the top<S>7218</S> of the base<S>4350</S> was there a round<S>5696</S> circle<S>5439</S> of half<S>2677</S> a cubit<S>520</S> high<S>6967</S>: and on the top<S>7218</S> of the base<S>4350</S> the ledges<S>3027</S> there and the borders there were of the same<S>4526</S>.


text:
For on the plates<S>3871</S> of the ledges<S>3027</S> there<S>4526</S>, and on the borders there<S>6605</S>, he engraved cherubims<S>3742</S>, lions<S>738</S>, and palm trees<S>8561</S>, according to the proportion<S>4626</S> of every one<S>376</S>, and wreaths<S>3914</S> round about<S>5439</S>.


text:
After this manner he made<S>6213</S> the ten<S>6235</S> bases<S>4350</S>: all of them had one<S>259</S> casting<S>4165</S>, one<S>259</S> measure<S>4060</S>, and one<S>259</S> size<S>7095</S>.


text:
Then he made<S>6213</S> ten<S>6235</S> lavers<S>3595</S> of brass<S>5178</S>: one<S>259</S> basin<S>3595</S> contained<S>3557</S> forty<S>705</S> baths<S>1324</S>: and every<S>259</S> basin<S>3595</S> was four<S>702</S> cubits<S>520</S>: and upon every one<S>259</S> of the ten<S>6235</S> bases<S>4350</S> one<S>259</S> basin<S>3595</S>.


text:
And he put<S>5414</S> five<S>2568</S> bases<S>4350</S> on the right<S>3225</S> side<S>3802</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, and five<S>2568</S> on the left<S>8040</S> side<S>3802</S> of the house<S>1004</S>: and he set<S>5414</S> the sea<S>3220</S> on the right<S>3233</S> side<S>3802</S> of the house<S>1004</S> eastward<S>6924</S> over against<S>4136</S> the south<S>5045</S>.


text:
And Hiram<S>2438</S> made<S>6213</S> the lavers<S>3595</S>, and the shovels<S>3257</S>, and the basins<S>4219</S>. So Hiram<S>2438</S> made<S>3615</S> an end of doing<S>6213</S> all the work<S>4399</S> that he made<S>6213</S> king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> for the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>:


text:
The two<S>8147</S> pillars<S>5982</S>, and the two bowls<S>1543</S> of the capitals<S>3805</S> that were on the top<S>7218</S> of the two<S>8147</S> pillars<S>5982</S>; and the two<S>8147</S> networks<S>7639</S>, to cover<S>3680</S> the two<S>8147</S> bowls<S>1543</S> of the capitals<S>3805</S> which were upon the top<S>7218</S> of the pillars<S>5982</S>;


text:
And four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> pomegranates<S>7416</S> for the two<S>8147</S> networks<S>7639</S>, even two<S>8147</S> rows<S>2905</S> of pomegranates<S>7416</S> for one<S>259</S> network<S>7639</S>, to cover<S>3680</S> the two<S>8147</S> bowls<S>1543</S> of the capitals<S>3805</S> that were upon<S>6440</S> the pillars<S>5982</S>;


text:
And the ten<S>6235</S> bases<S>4350</S>, and ten<S>6235</S> lavers<S>3595</S> on the bases<S>4350</S>;


text:
And the pots<S>5518</S>, and the shovels<S>3257</S>, and the basins<S>4219</S>: and all these vessels<S>3627</S>, which Hiram<S>2438</S> made<S>6213</S> to king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> for the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, were of bright<S>4178</S> brass<S>5178</S>.


text:
In the plain<S>3603</S> of Jordan<S>3383</S> did the king<S>4428</S> cast<S>3332</S> them<S>4568</S>, in the clay ground<S>127</S> between Succoth<S>5523</S> and Zarthan<S>6891</S>.


text:
And Solomon<S>8010</S> left<S>3240</S> all the vessels<S>3627</S> unweighed<S>3966</S>, because they were exceedingly many<S>7230</S>: neither was the weight<S>4948</S> of the brass<S>5178</S> found out<S>2713</S>.


text:
And Solomon<S>8010</S> made<S>6213</S> all the vessels<S>3627</S> that pertained unto the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>: the altar<S>4196</S> of gold<S>2091</S>, and the table<S>7979</S> of gold<S>2091</S>, whereupon the showbread was<S>3899</S>,


text:
And the candlesticks<S>4501</S> of pure<S>5462</S> gold<S>2091</S>, five<S>2568</S> on the right<S>3225</S> side<S>2568</S>, and five on the left<S>8040</S>, before<S>6440</S> the oracle<S>1687</S>, with the flowers<S>6525</S>, and the lamps<S>5216</S>, and the tongs<S>4457</S> of gold<S>2091</S>,

And the bowls<S>5592</S>, and the snuffers<S>4212</S>, and the basins<S>4219</S>, and the spoons<S>3709</S>, and the censers<S>4289</S> of pure<S>5462</S> gold<S>2091</S>; and the hinges<S>6596</S> of gold<S>2091</S>, both for the doors<S>1817</S> of the inner<S>6442</S> house<S>1004</S>, the most<S>6944</S> holy<S>6944</S> place<S>1817</S>, and for the doors of the house<S>1004</S>, to know<S>1964</S>, of the temple.


text:
So was ended<S>7999</S> all the work<S>4399</S> that king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> made<S>6213</S> for the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>. And Solomon<S>8010</S> brought in<S>935</S> the things which David<S>1732</S> his father<S>1</S> had dedicated<S>6944</S>; even the silver<S>3701</S>, and the gold<S>2091</S>, and the vessels<S>3627</S>, did he put<S>5414</S> among the treasures<S>214</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
Then Solomon<S>8010</S> assembled<S>6950</S> the elders<S>2205</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and all the heads<S>7218</S> of the tribes<S>4294</S>, the chief<S>5387</S> of the fathers<S>1</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, unto king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, that they might bring up<S>5927</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> out of the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>, which is Zion<S>6726</S>.


text:
And all the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> assembled<S>6950</S> themselves unto king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> at the feast<S>2282</S> in the month<S>3391</S> Ethanim<S>388</S>, which is the seventh<S>7637</S> month<S>2320</S>.


text:
And all the elders<S>2205</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> came<S>935</S>, and the priests<S>3548</S> took up<S>5375</S> the ark<S>727</S>.


text:
And they brought up<S>5927</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and the tabernacle<S>168</S> of the congregation<S>4150</S>, and all the holy<S>6944</S> vessels<S>3627</S> that were in the tabernacle<S>168</S>, even those did the priests<S>3548</S> and the Levites<S>3881</S> bring up<S>5927</S>.

And king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>, and all the congregation<S>5712</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, that were assembled<S>3259</S> unto him<S>6440</S>, were with him before the ark<S>727</S>, sacrificing<S>2076</S> sheep<S>6629</S> and oxen<S>1241</S>, that could not be told<S>5608</S> nor numbered<S>4487</S> for multitude<S>7230</S>.


text:
And the priests<S>3548</S> brought in<S>935</S> the ark<S>727</S> of the covenant<S>1285</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> unto his place<S>4725</S>, into the oracle<S>1687</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, to the most<S>6944</S> holy<S>6944</S> place<S>3671</S>, even under the wings of the cherubims<S>3742</S>.


text:
For the cherubims<S>3742</S> spread forth<S>6566</S> their two wings<S>3671</S> over the place<S>4725</S> of the ark<S>727</S>, and the cherubims<S>3742</S> covered<S>5526</S> the ark<S>727</S> and the poles<S>905</S> there above<S>4605</S>.


text:
And they drew out<S>748</S> the poles<S>905</S>, that the ends<S>7218</S> of the poles<S>905</S> were seen out<S>7200</S> in the holy<S>6944</S> place before<S>6440</S> the oracle<S>1687</S>, and they were not seen<S>7200</S> outside<S>2351</S>: and there they are unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
There was nothing in the ark<S>727</S> save<S>7535</S> the two<S>8147</S> tablets<S>3871</S> of stone<S>68</S>, which Moses<S>4872</S> put<S>3240</S> there at Horeb<S>2722</S>, when the Lord<S>3068</S> made<S>3772</S> a covenant with the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, when they came out<S>3318</S> of the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>3548</S>, when the priests were come out<S>3318</S> of the holy<S>6944</S> place<S>6051</S>, that the cloud filled<S>4390</S> the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>,


text:
So that the priests<S>3548</S> could<S>3201</S> not stand<S>5975</S> to minister<S>8334</S> because<S>6440</S> of the cloud<S>6051</S>: for the glory<S>3519</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> had filled<S>4390</S> the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
Then spoke<S>559</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>, The Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> that he would live<S>7931</S> in the thick darkness<S>6205</S>.


text:
I have surely<S>1129</S> built<S>1129</S> you an house<S>1004</S> to live in<S>2073</S>, a settled place<S>4349</S> for you to stay in<S>3427</S> for ever<S>5769</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> turned<S>5437</S> his face<S>6440</S> about<S>5437</S>, and blessed<S>1288</S> all the congregation<S>6951</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: (and all the congregation<S>6951</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> stood<S>5975</S>;)


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Blessed<S>1288</S> be the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, which spoke<S>1696</S> with his mouth<S>6310</S> unto David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S>, and has with his hand<S>3027</S> fulfilled<S>4390</S> it<S>559</S>, saying,


text:
Since the day<S>3117</S> that I brought forth<S>3318</S> my people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S>, I chose<S>977</S> no city<S>5892</S> out of all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> to build<S>1129</S> a house<S>1004</S>, that my name<S>8034</S> might be in it<S>977</S>; but I chose David<S>1732</S> to be over my people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And it was in the heart<S>3824</S> of David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S> to build<S>1129</S> a house<S>1004</S> for the name<S>8034</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S>, Whereas<S>3282</S> it was in your heart<S>3824</S> to build<S>1129</S> a house<S>1004</S> unto my name<S>8034</S>, you did well<S>2895</S> that it was in your heart<S>3824</S>.


text:
Nevertheless<S>7535</S> you shall not build<S>1129</S> the house<S>1004</S>; but your son<S>1121</S> that shall come forth out<S>3318</S> of your body<S>2504</S>, he shall build<S>1129</S> the house<S>1004</S> unto my name<S>8034</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> has performed<S>6965</S> his word<S>1697</S> that he spoke<S>1696</S>, and I am risen up<S>6965</S> in the room of David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S>, and sit<S>3427</S> on the throne<S>3678</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, as the Lord<S>3068</S> promised<S>1696</S>, and have built<S>1129</S> a house<S>1004</S> for the name<S>8034</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And I have set<S>7760</S> there a place<S>4725</S> for the ark<S>727</S>, where is the covenant<S>1285</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, which he made<S>3772</S> with our fathers<S>1</S>, when he brought them out<S>3318</S> of the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>.


text:
And Solomon<S>8010</S> stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> the altar<S>4196</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> in the presence of<S>5048</S> all the congregation<S>6951</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and spread forth<S>6566</S> his hands<S>3709</S> toward heaven<S>8064</S>:


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, there is no God<S>430</S> like you<S>8064</S>, in heaven above<S>4605</S>, or on earth<S>776</S> beneath<S>8104</S>, who keep covenant<S>1285</S> and mercy<S>2617</S> with your servants<S>5650</S> that walk<S>1980</S> before<S>6440</S> you with all their heart<S>3820</S>:


text:
Who have kept<S>8104</S> with your servant<S>5650</S> David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S> that you promised<S>1696</S> him<S>1696</S>: you spoke also with your mouth<S>6310</S>, and have fulfilled<S>4390</S> it with your hand<S>3027</S>, as it is this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Therefore now<S>3068</S>, Lord God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, keep<S>8104</S> with your servant<S>5650</S> David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S> that you promised<S>1696</S> him<S>559</S>, saying, There shall not fail<S>3772</S> you a man<S>376</S> in my sight<S>6440</S> to sit<S>3427</S> on the throne<S>3678</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>; so<S>7535</S> that your sons<S>1121</S> take care<S>8104</S> to their way<S>1870</S>, that they walk<S>3212</S> before<S>6440</S> me as you have walked<S>1980</S> before me<S>6440</S>.


text:
And now<S>430</S>, O God of Israel<S>3478</S>, let your word<S>1697</S>, I pray you<S>539</S>, be verified, which you spoke<S>1696</S> unto your servant<S>5650</S> David<S>1732</S> my father<S>1</S>.


text:
But will God<S>430</S> indeed<S>552</S> live<S>3427</S> on the earth<S>776</S>? behold<S>8064</S>, the heaven and heaven<S>8064</S> of heavens<S>8064</S> cannot contain<S>3557</S> you<S>637</S>; how much less this house<S>1004</S> that I have built<S>1129</S>?


text:
Yet have you respect<S>6437</S> unto the prayer<S>8605</S> of your servant<S>5650</S>, and to his supplication<S>8467</S>, O Lord<S>3068</S> my God<S>430</S>, to listen<S>8085</S> unto the cry<S>7440</S> and to the prayer<S>8605</S>, which your servant<S>5650</S> prays<S>6419</S> before<S>6440</S> you to day<S>3117</S>:


text:
That your eyes<S>5869</S> may be open<S>6605</S> toward this house<S>1004</S> night<S>3915</S> and day<S>3117</S>, even toward the place<S>4725</S> of which you have said<S>559</S>, My name<S>8034</S> shall be there<S>8085</S>: that you may listen unto the prayer<S>8605</S> which your servant<S>5650</S> shall make<S>6419</S> toward this place<S>4725</S>.


text:
And listen<S>8085</S> you to the supplication<S>8467</S> of your servant<S>5650</S>, and of your people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, when they shall pray<S>6419</S> toward this place<S>4725</S>: and hear<S>8085</S> you in heaven<S>8064</S> your living<S>3427</S> place<S>4725</S>: and when you hear<S>8085</S>, forgive<S>5545</S>.


text:
If any man<S>376</S> trespass<S>2398</S> against his neighbor<S>7453</S>, and an oath<S>423</S> be laid<S>5375</S> upon him to cause him to swear<S>422</S>, and the oath<S>423</S> come<S>935</S> before<S>6440</S> your altar<S>4196</S> in this house<S>1004</S>:


text:
Then hear<S>8085</S> you in heaven<S>8064</S>, and do<S>6213</S>, and judge<S>8199</S> your servants<S>5650</S>, condemning<S>7561</S> the wicked<S>7563</S>, to bring<S>5414</S> his way<S>1870</S> upon his head<S>7218</S>; and justifying<S>6663</S> the righteous<S>6662</S>, to give<S>5414</S> him according to his righteousness<S>6666</S>.


text:
When your people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S> be struck down<S>5062</S> before<S>6440</S> the enemy<S>341</S>, because they have sinned<S>2398</S> against you<S>7725</S>, and shall turn again to you<S>3034</S>, and confess your name<S>8034</S>, and pray<S>6419</S>, and make supplication<S>2603</S> unto you in this house<S>1004</S>:


text:
Then hear<S>8085</S> you in heaven<S>8064</S>, and forgive<S>5545</S> the sin<S>2403</S> of your people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, and bring them again<S>7725</S> unto the land<S>127</S> which you gave<S>5414</S> unto their fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
When heaven<S>8064</S> is shut up<S>6113</S>, and there is no rain<S>4306</S>, because they have sinned<S>2398</S> against you<S>6419</S>; if they pray toward this place<S>4725</S>, and confess<S>3034</S> your name<S>8034</S>, and turn<S>7725</S> from their sin<S>2403</S>, when you afflict them<S>6031</S>:


text:
Then hear<S>8085</S> you in heaven<S>8064</S>, and forgive<S>5545</S> the sin<S>2403</S> of your servants<S>5650</S>, and of your people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, that you teach<S>3384</S> them the good<S>2896</S> way<S>1870</S> where they should walk<S>3212</S>, and give<S>5414</S> rain<S>4306</S> upon your land<S>776</S>, which you have given<S>5414</S> to your people<S>5971</S> for an inheritance<S>5159</S>.

If there be in the land<S>776</S> famine<S>7458</S>, if there be pestilence<S>1698</S>, blight<S>7711</S>, mildew<S>3420</S>, locust<S>697</S>, or if there be caterpillar<S>2625</S>; if their enemy<S>341</S> besiege<S>6887</S> them in the land<S>776</S> of their cities<S>8179</S>; whatever plague<S>5061</S>, whatever sickness there be<S>4245</S>;

Whatever prayer<S>8605</S> and supplication<S>8467</S> is made by any man<S>120</S>, or by all your people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, which shall know<S>3045</S> every man<S>376</S> the plague<S>5061</S> of his own heart<S>3824</S>, and spread forth<S>6566</S> his hands<S>3709</S> toward this house<S>1004</S>:

Then hear<S>8085</S> you in heaven<S>8064</S> your living<S>3427</S> place<S>4349</S>, and forgive<S>5545</S>, and do<S>6213</S>, and give<S>5414</S> to every man<S>376</S> according to his ways<S>1870</S>, whose heart<S>3824</S> you know<S>3045</S>; (for you<S>3045</S>, even you only, know the hearts<S>3824</S> of all the sons<S>1121</S> of men<S>120</S>;)

That they may fear<S>3372</S> you all the days<S>3117</S> that they live<S>2416</S> in<S>6440</S> the land<S>127</S> which you gave<S>5414</S> unto our fathers<S>1</S>.

Moreover concerning a stranger<S>5237</S>, that is not of your people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, but comes out<S>935</S> of a far<S>7350</S> country<S>776</S> for<S>4616</S> your name<S>8034</S>'s sake;

(For they shall hear<S>8085</S> of your great<S>1419</S> name<S>8034</S>, and of your strong<S>2389</S> hand<S>3027</S>, and of your stretched out<S>5186</S> arm<S>2220</S>;) when he shall come<S>935</S> and pray<S>6419</S> toward this house<S>1004</S>;

Hear<S>8085</S> you in heaven<S>8064</S> your living<S>3427</S> place<S>4349</S>, and do<S>6213</S> according to all that the stranger<S>5237</S> calls<S>7121</S> to you for<S>5971</S>: that all people of the earth<S>776</S> may know<S>3045</S> your name<S>8034</S>, to fear<S>3372</S> you<S>5971</S>, as do your people Israel<S>3478</S>; and that they may know<S>3045</S> that this house<S>1004</S>, which I have built<S>1129</S>, is called<S>7121</S> by your name<S>8034</S>.

If your people<S>5971</S> go out<S>3318</S> to battle<S>4421</S> against their enemy<S>341</S>, wherever<S>1870</S> you shall send<S>7971</S> them<S>6419</S>, and shall pray unto the Lord<S>3068</S> toward<S>1870</S> the city<S>5892</S> which you have chosen<S>977</S>, and toward the house<S>1004</S> that I have built<S>1129</S> for your name<S>8034</S>:

Then hear<S>8085</S> you in heaven<S>8064</S> their prayer<S>8605</S> and their supplication<S>8467</S>, and maintain<S>6213</S> their cause<S>4941</S>.

If they sin<S>2398</S> against you<S>120</S>, (for there is no man that sins<S>2398</S> not<S>599</S>,) and you be angry with them<S>5414</S>, and deliver them to the enemy<S>341</S>, so that they carry them away<S>7617</S> captives<S>7617</S> unto<S>6440</S> the land<S>776</S> of the enemy<S>341</S>, far<S>7350</S> or near<S>7138</S>;

Yet if they shall repent<S>7725</S> themselves in the land<S>776</S> where they were carried captives<S>7617</S>, and repent<S>7725</S>, and make supplication<S>2603</S> unto you in the land<S>776</S> of them that carried them captives<S>7617</S>, saying<S>559</S>, We have sinned<S>2398</S>, and have done perversely<S>5753</S>, we have committed wickedness<S>7561</S>;

And so return<S>7725</S> unto you with all their heart<S>3824</S>, and with all their soul<S>5315</S>, in the land<S>776</S> of their enemies<S>341</S>, which led them away captive<S>7617</S>, and pray<S>6419</S> unto you toward<S>1870</S> their land<S>776</S>, which you gave<S>5414</S> unto their fathers<S>1</S>, the city<S>5892</S> which you have chosen<S>977</S>, and the house<S>1004</S> which I have built<S>1129</S> for your name<S>8034</S>:

And forgive<S>5545</S> your people<S>5971</S> that have sinned<S>2398</S> against you<S>6588</S>, and all their transgressions where they have transgressed<S>6586</S> against you<S>5414</S>, and give them compassion<S>7356</S> before<S>6440</S> them who carried them captive<S>7617</S>, that they may have compassion on them<S>7355</S>:

For they be your people<S>5971</S>, and your inheritance<S>5159</S>, which you brought forth<S>3318</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S>, from the middle<S>8432</S> of the furnace<S>3564</S> of iron<S>1270</S>:

For you did separate<S>914</S> them from among all the people<S>5971</S> of the earth<S>776</S>, to be your inheritance<S>5159</S>, as you spoke<S>1696</S> by the hand<S>3027</S> of Moses<S>4872</S> your servant<S>5650</S>, when you brought<S>3318</S> our fathers<S>1</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S>, O Lord<S>136</S> God<S>3069</S>.

And it was so<S>8010</S>, that when Solomon had made an end<S>3615</S> of praying<S>6419</S> all this prayer<S>8605</S> and supplication<S>8467</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>, he arose<S>6965</S> from before<S>6440</S> the altar<S>4196</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, from kneeling<S>3766</S> on his knees<S>1290</S> with his hands<S>3709</S> spread up<S>6566</S> to heaven<S>8064</S>.

The Lord<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S> be with us<S>1</S>, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave<S>5800</S> us<S>5203</S>, nor forsake us:


text:
That he may incline<S>5186</S> our hearts<S>3824</S> unto him<S>3212</S>, to walk in all his ways<S>1870</S>, and to keep<S>8104</S> his commandments<S>4687</S>, and his statutes<S>2706</S>, and his judgments<S>4941</S>, which he commanded<S>6680</S> our fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
And let these my words<S>1697</S>, with which I have made supplication<S>2603</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, be near<S>7138</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S> day<S>3119</S> and night<S>3915</S>, that he maintain<S>6213</S> the cause<S>4941</S> of his servant<S>5650</S>, and the cause<S>4941</S> of his people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S> at all times<S>3117</S>, as the matter shall require<S>1697</S>:


text:
That all the people<S>5971</S> of the earth<S>776</S> may know<S>3045</S> that the Lord<S>3068</S> is God<S>430</S>, and that there is none else.


text:
Let your heart<S>3824</S> therefore be perfect<S>8003</S> with the Lord<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S>, to walk<S>3212</S> in his statutes<S>2706</S>, and to keep<S>8104</S> his commandments<S>4687</S>, as at this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S>, and all Israel<S>3478</S> with him<S>2076</S>, offered sacrifice<S>2077</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Solomon<S>8010</S> offered<S>2076</S> a sacrifice<S>2077</S> of peace offerings<S>8002</S>, which he offered<S>2076</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>, two<S>8147</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> thousand<S>505</S> oxen<S>1241</S>, and an hundred<S>3967</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> thousand<S>505</S> sheep<S>6629</S>. So the king<S>4428</S> and all the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> dedicated<S>2596</S> the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
The same day<S>3117</S> did the king<S>4428</S> hallow<S>6942</S> the middle<S>8432</S> of the court<S>2691</S> that was before<S>6440</S> the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>: for there he offered<S>6213</S> burnt offerings<S>5930</S>, and food offerings<S>4503</S>, and the fat<S>2459</S> of the peace offerings<S>8002</S>: because the bronze<S>5178</S> altar<S>4196</S> that was before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> was too little<S>6996</S> to receive<S>3557</S> the burnt offerings<S>5930</S>, and food offerings<S>4503</S>, and the fat<S>2459</S> of the peace offerings<S>8002</S>.


text:
And at that time<S>6256</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> held<S>6213</S> a feast<S>2282</S>, and all Israel<S>3478</S> with him<S>1419</S>, a great congregation<S>6951</S>, from the entering<S>935</S> in of Hamath<S>2574</S> unto the river<S>5158</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>, before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S>, seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S> and seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>, even fourteen<S>702</S> days<S>3117</S>.


text:
On the eighth<S>8066</S> day<S>3117</S> he sent<S>7971</S> the people<S>5971</S> away<S>7971</S>: and they blessed<S>1288</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and went<S>3212</S> unto their tents<S>168</S> joyful<S>8056</S> and glad<S>2896</S> of heart<S>3820</S> for all the goodness<S>2896</S> that the Lord<S>3068</S> had done<S>6213</S> for David<S>1732</S> his servant<S>5650</S>, and for Israel<S>3478</S> his people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>8010</S>, when Solomon had finished<S>3615</S> the building<S>1129</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and all Solomon<S>8010</S>'s desire<S>2837</S> which he was pleased<S>2654</S> to do<S>6213</S>,


text:
That the Lord<S>3068</S> appeared<S>7200</S> to Solomon<S>8010</S> the second time<S>8145</S>, as he had appeared<S>7200</S> unto him at Gibeon<S>1391</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>8085</S>, I have heard your prayer<S>8605</S> and your supplication<S>8467</S>, that you have made<S>2603</S> before<S>6440</S> me<S>6942</S>: I have hallowed this house<S>1004</S>, which you have built<S>1129</S>, to put<S>7760</S> my name<S>8034</S> there for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>; and my eyes<S>5869</S> and my heart<S>3820</S> shall be there perpetually<S>3117</S>.


text:
And if you will walk<S>3212</S> before<S>6440</S> me<S>1732</S>, as David your father<S>1</S> walked<S>1980</S>, in integrity<S>8537</S> of heart<S>3824</S>, and in uprightness<S>3476</S>, to do<S>6213</S> according to all that I have commanded<S>6680</S> you<S>8104</S>, and will keep my statutes<S>2706</S> and my judgments<S>4941</S>:


text:
Then I will establish<S>6965</S> the throne<S>3678</S> of your kingdom<S>4467</S> upon Israel<S>3478</S> for ever<S>5769</S>, as I promised<S>1696</S> to David<S>1732</S> your father<S>1</S>, saying<S>559</S>, There shall not fail<S>3772</S> you a man<S>376</S> upon the throne<S>3678</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
But if you shall at all<S>7725</S> turn<S>7725</S> from following<S>310</S> me<S>1121</S>, you or your sons, and will not keep<S>8104</S> my commandments<S>4687</S> and my statutes<S>2708</S> which I have set<S>5414</S> before<S>6440</S> you<S>1980</S>, but go and serve<S>5647</S> other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>, and worship them<S>7812</S>:


text:
Then will I cut off<S>3772</S> Israel<S>3478</S> out<S>6440</S> of the land<S>127</S> which I have given<S>5414</S> them<S>1004</S>; and this house, which I have hallowed<S>6942</S> for my name<S>8034</S>, will I cast out<S>7971</S> of my sight<S>6440</S>; and Israel<S>3478</S> shall be a proverb<S>4912</S> and a byword<S>8148</S> among all people<S>5971</S>:


text:
And at this house<S>1004</S>, which is high<S>5945</S>, every one that passes<S>5674</S> by it shall be astonished<S>8074</S>, and shall hiss<S>8319</S>; and they shall say<S>559</S>, Why has the Lord<S>3068</S> done<S>6213</S> thus unto this land<S>776</S>, and to this house<S>1004</S>?


text:
And they shall answer<S>559</S>, Because they forsook<S>5800</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>, who brought forth<S>3318</S> their fathers<S>1</S> out of the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>, and have taken hold<S>2388</S> upon other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>, and have worshiped<S>7812</S> them<S>5647</S>, and served them<S>3068</S>: therefore has the Lord brought<S>935</S> upon them all this evil<S>7451</S>.


text:
And it came to pass at the end<S>7097</S> of twenty<S>6242</S> years<S>8141</S>, when Solomon<S>8010</S> had built<S>1129</S> the two<S>8147</S> houses<S>1004</S>, the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>,


text:
(Now Hiram<S>2438</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Tyre<S>6865</S> had furnished<S>5375</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> with cedar<S>730</S> trees<S>6086</S> and fir<S>1265</S> trees<S>6086</S>, and with gold<S>2091</S>, according to all his desire<S>2656</S>,) that then<S>227</S> king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> gave<S>5414</S> Hiram<S>2438</S> twenty<S>6242</S> cities<S>5892</S> in the land<S>776</S> of Galilee<S>1551</S>.


text:
And Hiram<S>2438</S> came out<S>3318</S> from Tyre<S>6865</S> to see<S>7200</S> the cities<S>5892</S> which Solomon<S>8010</S> had given<S>5414</S> him<S>3474</S>; and they pleased him not.


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, What cities<S>5892</S> are these which you have given<S>5414</S> me<S>251</S>, my brother? And he called<S>7121</S> them the land<S>776</S> of Cabul<S>3521</S> unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And Hiram<S>2438</S> sent<S>7971</S> to the king<S>4428</S> sixscore<S>3967</S> talents<S>3603</S> of gold<S>2091</S>.


text:
And this is the reason<S>1697</S> of the levy<S>4522</S> which king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> raised<S>5927</S>; for to build<S>1129</S> the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and his own house<S>1004</S>, and Millo<S>4407</S>, and the wall<S>2346</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and Hazor<S>2674</S>, and Megiddo<S>4023</S>, and Gezer<S>1507</S>.


text:
For Pharaoh<S>6547</S> king<S>4428</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S> had gone up<S>5927</S>, and taken<S>3920</S> Gezer<S>1507</S>, and burnt<S>8313</S> it with fire<S>784</S>, and slain<S>2026</S> the Canaanites<S>3669</S> that lived<S>3427</S> in the city<S>5892</S>, and given<S>5414</S> it for a present<S>7964</S> unto his daughter<S>1323</S>, Solomon<S>8010</S>'s wife<S>802</S>.


text:
And Solomon<S>8010</S> built<S>1129</S> Gezer<S>1507</S>, and Beth<S>1032</S>–horon the nether<S>8481</S>,


text:
And all the cities<S>5892</S> of store<S>4543</S> that Solomon<S>8010</S> had<S>5892</S>, and cities for his chariots<S>7393</S>, and cities<S>5892</S> for his horsemen<S>6571</S>, and that<S>2837</S> which Solomon<S>8010</S> desired<S>2836</S> to build<S>1129</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and in Lebanon<S>3844</S>, and in all the land<S>776</S> of his dominion<S>4475</S>.


text:
And all the people<S>5971</S> that were left<S>3498</S> of the Amorites<S>567</S>, Hittites<S>2850</S>, Perizzites<S>6522</S>, Hivites<S>2340</S>, and Jebusites<S>2983</S>, which were not of the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>,


text:
Their sons<S>1121</S> that were left<S>3498</S> after<S>310</S> them in the land<S>776</S>, whom the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> also were not able<S>3201</S> utterly to destroy<S>2763</S>, upon those did Solomon<S>8010</S> levy<S>5927</S> a tribute<S>4522</S> of bondservice<S>5647</S> unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
But of the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> did Solomon<S>8010</S> make<S>5414</S> no bondmen<S>5650</S>: but they were men<S>582</S> of war<S>4421</S>, and his servants<S>5650</S>, and his princes<S>8269</S>, and his captains<S>7991</S>, and rulers<S>8269</S> of his chariots<S>7393</S>, and his horsemen<S>6571</S>.


text:
These were the chief<S>8269</S> of the officers<S>5324</S> that were over Solomon<S>8010</S>'s work<S>4399</S>, five<S>2568</S> hundred<S>3967</S> and fifty<S>2572</S>, which bore rule<S>7287</S> over the people<S>5971</S> that worked<S>6213</S> in the work<S>4399</S>.


text:
But Pharaoh<S>6547</S>'s daughter<S>1323</S> came up<S>5927</S> out of the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S> unto her house<S>1004</S> which Solomon had built<S>1129</S> for her<S>1129</S>: then did he build Millo<S>4407</S>.


text:
And three<S>7969</S> times<S>6471</S> in a year<S>8141</S> did Solomon<S>8010</S> offer<S>5927</S> burnt offerings<S>5930</S> and peace offerings<S>8002</S> upon the altar<S>4196</S> which he built<S>1129</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>, and he burnt incense<S>6999</S> upon the altar<S>4196</S> that was before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>. So he finished<S>7999</S> the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S> made<S>6213</S> a navy of ships<S>590</S> in Ezion<S>6100</S>–geber, which is beside Eloth<S>359</S>, on the shore<S>8193</S> of the Red<S>5488</S> sea<S>3220</S>, in the land<S>776</S> of Edom<S>123</S>.


text:
And Hiram<S>2438</S> sent<S>7971</S> in the navy<S>590</S> his servants<S>5650</S>, shipmen<S>582</S> that had knowledge<S>3045</S> of the sea<S>3220</S>, with the servants<S>5650</S> of Solomon<S>8010</S>.


text:
And they came<S>935</S> to Ophir<S>211</S>, and fetched<S>3947</S> from there gold<S>2091</S>, four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> talents<S>3603</S>, and brought<S>935</S> it to king<S>4428</S> Solomon<S>8010</S>.

But<S>1161</S> the God<S>2316</S> of all<S>3956</S> grace<S>5485</S>, who<S>3588</S> has called<S>2564</S> us<S>2248</S> to<S>1519</S> his<S>846</S> eternal<S>166</S> glory<S>1391</S> by<S>1722</S> Christ<S>5547</S> Jesus<S>2424</S>, after that you have suffered<S>3958</S> a while<S>3641</S>, <S>846</S> make<S>2675</S> you<S>5209</S> perfect<S>2675</S>, establish<S>4741</S>, strengthen<S>4599</S>, settle you<S>2311</S>.

By<S>1223</S> Silvanus<S>4610</S>, a faithful<S>4103</S> brother<S>80</S> to you<S>5213</S>, as<S>5613</S> I suppose<S>3049</S>, I have written<S>1125, 1223</S> briefly<S>3641</S>, exhorting<S>3870</S>, and<S>2532</S> testifying<S>1957</S> that this<S>3778</S> is<S>1511</S> the true<S>227</S> grace<S>5485</S> of God<S>2316</S> where<S>1519, 3739</S> you stand<S>2476</S>.

The church that is at<S>1722</S> Babylon<S>897</S>, elected together with<S>4899</S> you<S>782</S>, greets you<S>5209</S>; and<S>2532</S> so does Marcus<S>3138</S> my<S>3450</S> son<S>5207</S>.

Greet you<S>782</S> one another<S>240</S> with<S>1722</S> a kiss<S>5370</S> of love<S>26</S>. Peace<S>1515</S> be with you<S>5213</S> all<S>3956</S> that<S>3588</S> are in<S>1722</S> Christ<S>5547</S> Jesus<S>2424</S>. Amen<S>281</S>.


text:
Now there was<S>1961</S> a certain<S>259</S> man<S>376</S> of<S>4480</S> Ramathaim-zophim,<S>7436</S> of mount<S>4480</S> <S>2022</S> Ephraim,<S>669</S> and his name<S>8034</S> <i>was</i> Elkanah,<S>511</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jeroham,<S>3395</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Elihu,<S>453</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Tohu,<S>8459</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zuph,<S>6689</S> an Ephrathite.<S>673</S>


text:
And he had two<S>8147</S> wives<S>802</S>; the name<S>8034</S> of the one<S>259</S> was Hannah<S>2584</S>, and the name<S>8034</S> of the other<S>8145</S> Peninnah<S>6444</S>: and Peninnah<S>6444</S> had sons<S>3206</S>, but Hannah<S>2584</S> had no sons<S>3206</S>.


text:
And this<S>1931</S> man<S>376</S> went up<S>5927</S> out of his city<S>5892</S> yearly<S>3117</S> to worship<S>7812</S> and to sacrifice<S>2076</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> of hosts<S>6635</S> in Shiloh<S>7887</S>. And the two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S> of Eli<S>5941</S>, Hophni<S>2652</S> and Phinehas<S>6372</S>, the priests<S>3548</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, were there.


text:
And when the time<S>3117</S> was that Elkanah<S>511</S> offered<S>2076</S>, he gave<S>5414</S> to Peninnah<S>6444</S> his wife<S>802</S>, and to all her sons<S>1121</S> and her daughters<S>1323</S>, portions<S>4490</S>:


text:
But unto Hannah<S>2584</S> he gave<S>5414</S> a<S>259</S> worthy<S>639</S> portion<S>4490</S>; for he loved<S>157</S> Hannah<S>2584</S>: but the Lord<S>3068</S> had shut up<S>5462</S> her womb<S>7358</S>.


text:
And her adversary<S>6869</S> also provoked<S>3707</S> her severe<S>3708</S>, for to make her fret<S>7481</S>, because the Lord<S>3068</S> had shut<S>5462</S> up<S>1157</S> her womb<S>7358</S>.


text:
And as he did<S>6213</S> so year<S>8141</S> by year<S>8141</S>, when<S>1767</S> she went up<S>5927</S> to the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, so she provoked<S>3707</S> her<S>1058</S>; therefore she wept, and did not eat<S>398</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Elkanah<S>511</S> her husband<S>376</S> to her<S>2584</S>, Hannah, why weep<S>1058</S> you<S>398</S>? and why eat you not<S>3824</S>? and why is your heart grieved<S>3415</S>? am not I better<S>2896</S> to you than ten<S>6235</S> sons<S>1121</S>?


text:
So Hannah<S>2584</S> rose up<S>6965</S> after<S>310</S> they had eaten<S>398</S> in Shiloh<S>7887</S>, and after<S>310</S> they had drunk<S>8354</S>. Now Eli<S>5941</S> the priest<S>3548</S> sat<S>3427</S> upon a seat<S>3678</S> by a post<S>4201</S> of the temple<S>1964</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And she was in bitterness<S>4751</S> of soul<S>5315</S>, and prayed<S>6419</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>, and wept<S>1058</S> bitterly<S>1058</S>.


text:
And she vowed<S>5087</S> a vow<S>5088</S>, and said<S>559</S>, O Lord<S>3068</S> of hosts<S>6635</S>, if you will indeed<S>7200</S> look<S>7200</S> on the affliction<S>6040</S> of your handmaid<S>519</S>, and remember<S>2142</S> me<S>7911</S>, and not forget your handmaid<S>519</S>, but will give<S>5414</S> unto your handmaid<S>519</S> a man<S>582</S> child<S>2233</S>, then I will give<S>5414</S> him unto the Lord<S>3068</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of his life<S>2416</S>, and there shall no razor<S>4177</S> come<S>5927</S> upon his head<S>7218</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>7235</S>, as she continued praying<S>6419</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, that Eli<S>5941</S> marked<S>8104</S> her mouth<S>6310</S>.


text:
Now Hannah<S>2584</S>, she spoke<S>1696</S> in her heart<S>3820</S>; only her lips<S>8193</S> moved<S>5128</S>, but her voice<S>6963</S> was not heard<S>8085</S>: therefore Eli<S>5941</S> thought<S>2803</S> she had been drunken<S>7910</S>.


text:
And Eli<S>5941</S> said<S>559</S> unto her<S>7937</S>, How long will you be drunken? put away<S>5493</S> your wine from you<S>3196</S>.


text:
And Hannah<S>2584</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, No<S>113</S>, my lord, I am a woman<S>802</S> of a sorrowful<S>7186</S> spirit<S>7307</S>: I have drunk<S>8354</S> neither wine<S>3196</S> nor strong drink<S>7941</S>, but have poured out<S>8210</S> my soul<S>5315</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
Count<S>5414</S> not your handmaid<S>519</S> for<S>6440</S> a daughter<S>1323</S> of Belial<S>1100</S>: for out of the abundance<S>7230</S> of my complaint<S>7879</S> and grief<S>3708</S> have I spoken until now<S>1696</S>.


text:
Then Eli<S>5941</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S> in peace<S>7965</S>: and the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> grant<S>5414</S> you your petition<S>7596</S> that you have asked of him<S>7592</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S>, Let your handmaid<S>8198</S> find<S>4672</S> grace<S>2580</S> in your sight<S>5869</S>. So the woman<S>802</S> went<S>3212</S> her way<S>1870</S>, and did eat<S>398</S>, and her face was no more sad<S>6440</S>.


text:
And they rose up<S>7925</S> in the morning<S>1242</S> early<S>7925</S>, and worshiped<S>7812</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, and returned<S>7725</S>, and came<S>935</S> to their house<S>1004</S> to Ramah<S>7414</S>: and Elkanah<S>511</S> knew<S>3045</S> Hannah<S>2584</S> his wife<S>802</S>; and the Lord<S>3068</S> remembered her<S>2142</S>.


text:
Why it came to pass<S>3117</S>, when the time was come<S>8622</S> about after Hannah<S>2584</S> had conceived<S>2029</S>, that she bore<S>3205</S> a son<S>1121</S>, and called<S>7121</S> his name<S>8034</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>, saying<S>7592</S>, Because I have asked him of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the man<S>376</S> Elkanah<S>511</S>, and all his house<S>1004</S>, went up<S>5927</S> to offer<S>2076</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> the yearly<S>3117</S> sacrifice<S>2077</S>, and his vow<S>5088</S>.


text:
But Hannah<S>2584</S> went not up<S>5927</S>; for she said<S>559</S> unto her husband<S>376</S>, I will not go up until the child<S>5288</S> be weaned<S>1580</S>, and then I will bring<S>935</S> him<S>7200</S>, that he may appear before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, and there stay<S>3427</S> for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>.


text:
And Elkanah<S>511</S> her husband<S>376</S> said<S>559</S> unto her<S>6213</S>, Do what seems<S>5869</S> you good<S>2896</S>; stay<S>3427</S> until you have weaned<S>1580</S> him<S>3068</S>; only the Lord establish<S>6965</S> his word<S>1697</S>. So the woman<S>802</S> lived<S>3427</S>, and gave her son<S>1121</S> suck<S>3243</S> until she weaned him<S>1580</S>.


text:
And when she had weaned<S>1580</S> him<S>5927</S>, she took him up with her<S>7969</S>, with three bullocks<S>6499</S>, and one<S>259</S> ephah<S>374</S> of flour<S>7058</S>, and a bottle<S>5035</S> of wine<S>3196</S>, and brought<S>935</S> him unto the house<S>1004</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> in Shiloh<S>7887</S>: and the child<S>5288</S> was young<S>5288</S>.


text:
And they killed<S>7819</S> a bullock<S>6499</S>, and brought<S>935</S> the child<S>5288</S> to Eli<S>5941</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S>, Oh<S>994</S> my lord<S>113</S>, as your soul<S>5315</S> lives<S>2416</S>, my lord<S>113</S>, I am the woman<S>802</S> that stood<S>5324</S> by you here<S>6419</S>, praying unto the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
For this child<S>5288</S> I prayed<S>6419</S>; and the Lord<S>3068</S> has given<S>5414</S> me my petition<S>7596</S> which I asked of him<S>7592</S>:


text:
Therefore also I have lent<S>7592</S> him to the Lord<S>3068</S>; as long as he lives<S>3117</S> he shall be lent<S>7592</S> to the Lord<S>3068</S>. And he worshiped<S>7812</S> the Lord there<S>3068</S>.


text:
Then Samuel<S>8050</S> took<S>3947</S> a vial<S>6378</S> of oil<S>8081</S>, and poured<S>3332</S> it upon his head<S>7218</S>, and kissed<S>5401</S> him<S>559</S>, and said, Is it not because the Lord<S>3068</S> has anointed<S>4886</S> you to be captain<S>5057</S> over his inheritance<S>5159</S>?


text:
When you are departed<S>3212</S> from me<S>5978</S> to day<S>3117</S>, then you shall find<S>4672</S> two<S>8147</S> men<S>582</S> by Rachel<S>7354</S>'s tomb<S>6900</S> in the border<S>1366</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> at Zelzah<S>6766</S>; and they will say<S>559</S> unto you<S>860</S>, The donkeys which you went<S>1980</S> to seek<S>1245</S> are found<S>4672</S>: and<S>1</S>, behold, your father has left<S>5203</S> the care<S>1697</S> of the donkeys<S>860</S>, and sorrows<S>1672</S> for you<S>559</S>, saying, What shall I do<S>6213</S> for my son<S>1121</S>?


text:
Then shall you go on<S>2498</S> forward<S>1973</S> from there<S>935</S>, and you shall come to the plain<S>436</S> of Tabor<S>8396</S>, and there shall meet<S>4672</S> you three<S>7969</S> men<S>582</S> going up<S>5927</S> to God<S>430</S> to Beth<S>1008</S>–el, one<S>259</S> carrying<S>5375</S> three<S>7969</S> kids<S>1423</S>, and another<S>259</S> carrying<S>5375</S> three<S>7969</S> loaves<S>3603</S> of bread<S>3899</S>, and another<S>259</S> carrying<S>5375</S> a bottle<S>5035</S> of wine<S>3196</S>:


text:
And they will<S>7592</S> greet<S>7965</S> you<S>5414</S>, and give you two<S>8147</S> loaves of bread<S>3899</S>; which you shall receive<S>3947</S> of their hands<S>3027</S>.


text:
After<S>310</S> that you shall come<S>935</S> to the hill<S>1389</S> of God<S>430</S>, where is the garrison<S>5333</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>: and it shall come to pass<S>935</S>, when you are come there to the city<S>5892</S>, that you shall meet<S>6293</S> a company<S>2256</S> of prophets<S>5030</S> coming down<S>3381</S> from the high place<S>1116</S> with a psaltery<S>5035</S>, and a tambourine<S>8596</S>, and a pipe<S>2485</S>, and a harp<S>3658</S>, before<S>6440</S> them<S>5012</S>; and they shall prophesy:


text:
And the Spirit<S>7307</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> will come<S>6743</S> upon you<S>5012</S>, and you shall prophesy with them<S>2015</S>, and shall be turned into another<S>312</S> man<S>376</S>.


text:
And let it be<S>226</S>, when these signs are come<S>935</S> unto you<S>6213</S>, that you do as occasion<S>4672</S> serve<S>3027</S> you<S>430</S>; for God is with you.


text:
And you shall go down<S>3381</S> before<S>6440</S> me to Gilgal<S>1537</S>; and<S>3381</S>, behold, I will come down unto you<S>5927</S>, to offer burnt offerings<S>5930</S>, and to sacrifice<S>2076</S> sacrifices<S>2077</S> of peace offerings<S>8002</S>: seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S> shall you stay<S>3176</S>, until I come<S>935</S> to you<S>3045</S>, and show you what you shall do<S>6213</S>.


text:
And it was so<S>6437</S>, that when he had turned his back<S>7926</S> to go<S>3212</S> from Samuel<S>8050</S>, God<S>430</S> gave<S>2015</S> him another<S>312</S> heart<S>3820</S>: and all those signs<S>226</S> came<S>935</S> to pass that day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And when they came<S>935</S> there to the hill<S>1389</S>, behold<S>2256</S>, a company of prophets<S>5030</S> met<S>7125</S> him<S>7307</S>; and the Spirit of God<S>430</S> came<S>6743</S> upon him<S>5012</S>, and he prophesied among them<S>8432</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>3045</S>, when all that knew him previously<S>865</S> saw<S>7200</S> that<S>5012</S>, behold, he prophesied among the prophets<S>5030</S>, then the people<S>5971</S> said<S>559</S> one<S>376</S> to another<S>7453</S>, What is this that is come unto the son<S>1121</S> of Kish<S>7027</S>? Is Saul<S>7586</S> also among the prophets<S>5030</S>?


text:
And one<S>376</S> of the same place answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, But who is their father<S>1</S>? Therefore it became a proverb<S>4912</S>, Is Saul<S>7586</S> also among the prophets<S>5030</S>?


text:
And when he had made an end<S>3615</S> of prophesying<S>5012</S>, he came<S>935</S> to the high place<S>1116</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S>'s uncle<S>1730</S> said<S>559</S> unto him and to his servant<S>5288</S>, Where<S>575</S> went<S>1980</S> you<S>559</S>? And he said, To seek<S>1245</S> the donkeys<S>860</S>: and when we saw<S>7200</S> that they were no where<S>369</S>, we came<S>935</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S>'s uncle<S>1730</S> said<S>559</S>, Tell<S>5046</S> me<S>8050</S>, I pray you, what Samuel said unto you<S>559</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto his uncle<S>1730</S>, He told<S>5046</S> us plainly<S>5046</S> that the donkeys<S>860</S> were found<S>4672</S>. But of the matter<S>1697</S> of the kingdom<S>4410</S>, whereof Samuel<S>8050</S> spoke<S>559</S>, he told him not<S>5046</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> called<S>6817</S> the people<S>5971</S> together unto the Lord<S>3068</S> to Mizpeh<S>4709</S>;


text:
And said<S>559</S> unto the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, I brought up<S>5927</S> Israel<S>3478</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S>, and delivered<S>5337</S> you out of the hand<S>3027</S> of the Egyptians<S>4714</S>, and out of the hand<S>3027</S> of all kingdoms<S>4467</S>, and of them that oppressed you<S>3905</S>:


text:
And you have this day<S>3117</S> rejected<S>3988</S> your God<S>430</S>, who himself saved<S>3467</S> you out of all your adversities<S>7451</S> and your tribulations<S>6869</S>; and you have said<S>559</S> unto him<S>7760</S>, No, but set a king<S>4428</S> over us<S>3320</S>. Now therefore present yourselves before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> by your tribes<S>7626</S>, and by your thousands<S>505</S>.


text:
And when Samuel<S>8050</S> had caused all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> to come near<S>7126</S>, the tribe<S>7626</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> was taken<S>3920</S>.

When he had caused the tribe<S>7626</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> to come near<S>7126</S> by their families<S>4940</S>, the family<S>4940</S> of Matri<S>4309</S> was taken<S>3920</S>, and Saul<S>7586</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Kish<S>7027</S> was taken<S>3920</S>: and when they sought<S>1245</S> him<S>4672</S>, he could not be found.


text:
Therefore they inquired<S>7592</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> further<S>376</S>, if the man should yet come<S>935</S> there<S>1988</S>. And the Lord<S>3068</S> answered<S>559</S>, Behold<S>2244</S>, he has hid himself among the stuff<S>3627</S>.


text:
And they ran<S>7323</S> and fetched<S>3947</S> him there<S>3320</S>: and when he stood among<S>8432</S> the people<S>5971</S>, he was higher<S>1361</S> than any of the people<S>5971</S> from his shoulders<S>7926</S> and upward<S>4605</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to all the people<S>5971</S>, See<S>7200</S> you him whom the Lord<S>3068</S> has chosen<S>977</S>, that there is none like him among all the people<S>5971</S>? And all the people<S>5971</S> shouted<S>7321</S>, and said<S>559</S>, God save<S>2421</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
Then Samuel<S>8050</S> told<S>1696</S> the people<S>5971</S> the manner<S>4941</S> of the kingdom<S>4410</S>, and wrote<S>3789</S> it in a book<S>5612</S>, and laid it up<S>3240</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>. And Samuel<S>8050</S> sent<S>7971</S> all the people<S>5971</S> away<S>7971</S>, every man<S>376</S> to his house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> also went<S>1980</S> home<S>1004</S> to Gibeah<S>1390</S>; and there went<S>3212</S> with him a band of men<S>2428</S>, whose hearts<S>3820</S> God<S>430</S> had touched<S>5060</S>.


text:
But the sons<S>1121</S> of Belial<S>1100</S> said<S>559</S>, How shall this man save<S>3467</S> us<S>959</S>? And they despised him<S>935</S>, and brought him no presents<S>4503</S>. But he held his peace<S>2790</S>.


text:
Then Nahash<S>5176</S> the Ammonite<S>5984</S> came up<S>5927</S>, and encamped<S>2583</S> against Jabesh<S>3003</S>–gilead: and all the men<S>582</S> of Jabesh<S>3003</S> said<S>559</S> unto Nahash<S>5176</S>, Make<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> with us<S>5647</S>, and we will serve you.


text:
And Nahash<S>5176</S> the Ammonite<S>5984</S> answered<S>559</S> them<S>2063</S>, On this condition will I make<S>3772</S> a covenant with you<S>5365</S>, that I may thrust out all your right<S>3225</S> eyes<S>5869</S>, and lay<S>7760</S> it for a reproach<S>2781</S> upon all Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And the elders<S>2205</S> of Jabesh<S>3003</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>7651</S>, Give us seven days<S>3117</S>' respite<S>7503</S>, that we may send<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> unto all the coasts<S>1366</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: and then<S>3467</S>, if there be no man to save us<S>3318</S>, we will come out to you.


text:
Then came<S>935</S> the messengers<S>4397</S> to Gibeah<S>1390</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, and told<S>1696</S> the tidings<S>1697</S> in the ears<S>241</S> of the people<S>5971</S>: and all the people<S>5971</S> lifted up<S>5375</S> their voices<S>6963</S>, and wept<S>1058</S>.


text:
And<S>7586</S>, behold, Saul came<S>935</S> after<S>310</S> the herd<S>1241</S> out of the field<S>7704</S>; and Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, What ails the people<S>5971</S> that they weep<S>1058</S>? And they told<S>5608</S> him the tidings<S>1697</S> of the men<S>582</S> of Jabesh<S>3003</S>.


text:
And the Spirit<S>7307</S> of God<S>430</S> came<S>6743</S> upon Saul<S>7586</S> when he heard<S>8085</S> those tidings<S>1697</S>, and his anger<S>639</S> was kindled<S>2734</S> greatly<S>3966</S>.


text:
And he took<S>3947</S> a yoke<S>6776</S> of oxen<S>1241</S>, and hewed them in pieces<S>5408</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> them throughout all the coasts<S>1366</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> by the hands<S>3027</S> of messengers<S>4397</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Whoever comes not forth<S>3318</S> after<S>310</S> Saul<S>7586</S> and after<S>310</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>, so shall it be done<S>6213</S> unto his oxen<S>1241</S>. And the fear<S>6343</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> fell<S>5307</S> on the people<S>5971</S>, and they came out<S>3318</S> with one<S>259</S> consent<S>376</S>.


text:
And when he numbered<S>6485</S> them in Bezek<S>966</S>, the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S>, and the men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> thirty<S>7970</S> thousand<S>505</S>.


text:
And they said<S>559</S> unto the messengers<S>4397</S> that came<S>935</S>, Thus shall you say<S>559</S> unto the men<S>376</S> of Jabesh<S>3003</S>–gilead, To morrow<S>4279</S>, by that time the sun<S>8121</S> be hot<S>2527</S>, you shall have help<S>8668</S>. And the messengers<S>4397</S> came<S>935</S> and showed<S>5046</S> it to the men<S>582</S> of Jabesh<S>3003</S>; and they were glad<S>8055</S>.


text:
Therefore the men<S>582</S> of Jabesh<S>3003</S> said<S>559</S>, To morrow<S>4279</S> we will come out<S>3318</S> unto you<S>6213</S>, and you shall do with us all that seems<S>5869</S> good unto you<S>2896</S>.


text:
And it was so on the next day<S>4283</S>, that Saul<S>7586</S> put<S>7760</S> the people<S>5971</S> in three<S>7969</S> companies<S>7218</S>; and they came<S>935</S> into the middle<S>8432</S> of the army<S>4264</S> in the morning<S>1242</S> watch<S>821</S>, and killed<S>5221</S> the Ammonites<S>5983</S> until the heat<S>2527</S> of the day<S>3117</S>: and it came to pass<S>7604</S>, that they which remained were scattered<S>6327</S>, so that two<S>8147</S> of them were not left<S>7604</S> together<S>3162</S>.


text:
And the people<S>5971</S> said<S>559</S> unto Samuel<S>8050</S>, Who is he that said<S>559</S>, Shall Saul<S>7586</S> reign<S>4427</S> over us<S>5414</S>? bring the men<S>582</S>, that we may put them to death<S>4191</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, There shall not a man<S>376</S> be put to death<S>4191</S> this day<S>3117</S>: for to day<S>3117</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> has worked<S>6213</S> salvation<S>8668</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Samuel<S>8050</S> to the people<S>5971</S>, Come<S>3212</S>, and let us go<S>3212</S> to Gilgal<S>1537</S>, and renew<S>2318</S> the kingdom there<S>4410</S>.


text:
And all the people<S>5971</S> went<S>3212</S> to Gilgal<S>1537</S>; and there they made Saul<S>7586</S> king<S>4427</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> in Gilgal<S>1537</S>; and there they sacrificed<S>2076</S> sacrifices<S>2077</S> of peace offerings<S>8002</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>; and there Saul<S>7586</S> and all the men<S>582</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> rejoiced<S>8055</S> greatly<S>3966</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> unto all Israel<S>3478</S>, Behold<S>8085</S>, I have listened unto your voice<S>6963</S> in all that you said<S>559</S> unto me<S>4427</S>, and have made a king over you<S>4428</S>.


text:
And now<S>4428</S>, behold, the king walks<S>1980</S> before<S>6440</S> you<S>2204</S>: and I am old and grayheaded<S>7867</S>; and<S>1121</S>, behold, my sons are with you<S>1980</S>: and I have walked before<S>6440</S> you from my childhood<S>5271</S> unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Behold<S>6030</S>, here I am: witness against me before the Lord<S>3068</S>, and before his anointed<S>4899</S>: whose ox<S>7794</S> have I taken<S>3947</S>? or whose donkey<S>2543</S> have I taken<S>3947</S>? or whom have I defrauded<S>6231</S>? whom have I oppressed<S>7533</S>? or of whose hand<S>3027</S> have I received any bribe<S>3724</S> to blind<S>5956</S> my eyes<S>5869</S> with it<S>7725</S>? and I will restore it you.


text:
And they said<S>559</S>, You have not defrauded<S>6231</S> us<S>7533</S>, nor oppressed us<S>3947</S>, neither have you taken anything<S>3972</S> of any man<S>376</S>'s hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto them<S>3068</S>, The Lord is witness<S>5707</S> against you<S>4899</S>, and his anointed is witness<S>5707</S> this day<S>3117</S>, that you have not found<S>4672</S> anything<S>3972</S> in my hand<S>3027</S>. And they answered<S>559</S>, He is witness<S>5707</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> unto the people<S>5971</S>, It is the Lord<S>3068</S> that advanced<S>6213</S> Moses<S>4872</S> and Aaron<S>175</S>, and that brought<S>5927</S> your fathers<S>1</S> up<S>5927</S> out of the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>.


text:
Now therefore stand still<S>3320</S>, that I may reason<S>8199</S> with you before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> of all the righteous acts<S>6666</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, which he did<S>6213</S> to you and to your fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
When Jacob<S>3290</S> was come<S>935</S> into Egypt<S>4714</S>, and your fathers<S>1</S> cried<S>2199</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>, then the Lord<S>3068</S> sent<S>7971</S> Moses<S>4872</S> and Aaron<S>175</S>, which brought forth<S>3318</S> your fathers<S>1</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S>, and made them live<S>3427</S> in this place<S>4725</S>.


text:
And when they forgot<S>7911</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>, he sold<S>4376</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of Sisera<S>5516</S>, captain<S>8269</S> of the army<S>6635</S> of Hazor<S>2674</S>, and into the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and into the hand<S>3027</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>, and they fought against them<S>3898</S>.


text:
And they cried<S>2199</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, We have sinned<S>2398</S>, because we have forsaken<S>5800</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, and have served<S>5647</S> Baalim<S>1168</S> and Ashtaroth<S>6252</S>: but now deliver<S>5337</S> us out of the hand<S>3027</S> of our enemies<S>341</S>, and we will serve you<S>5647</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> sent<S>7971</S> Jerubbaal<S>3378</S>, and Bedan<S>917</S>, and Jephthah<S>3316</S>, and Samuel<S>8050</S>, and delivered<S>5337</S> you out of the hand<S>3027</S> of your enemies<S>341</S> on every side<S>5439</S>, and you lived<S>3427</S> safe<S>983</S>.


text:
And when you saw<S>7200</S> that Nahash<S>5176</S> the king<S>4428</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S> came<S>935</S> against you<S>559</S>, you said unto me<S>4428</S>, No; but a king shall reign<S>4427</S> over us<S>3068</S>: when the Lord your God<S>430</S> was your king<S>4428</S>.


text:
Now therefore behold the king<S>4428</S> whom you have chosen<S>977</S>, and whom you have desired<S>7592</S>! and<S>3068</S>, behold, the Lord has set<S>5414</S> a king over you<S>4428</S>.


text:
If you will fear<S>3372</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, and serve<S>5647</S> him<S>8085</S>, and obey his voice<S>6963</S>, and not rebel<S>4784</S> against the commandment<S>6310</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, then shall both you and also the king<S>4428</S> that reigns<S>4427</S> over you continue following<S>310</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>:


text:
But if you will not obey<S>8085</S> the voice<S>6963</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, but rebel<S>4784</S> against the commandment<S>6310</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, then shall the hand<S>3027</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> be against you<S>1</S>, as it was against your fathers.


text:
Now therefore<S>1571</S> stand<S>3320</S> and see<S>7200</S> this great<S>1419</S> thing<S>1697</S>, which the Lord<S>3068</S> will do<S>6213</S> before your eyes<S>5869</S>.


text:
Is it not wheat<S>2406</S> harvest<S>7105</S> to day<S>3117</S>? I will call<S>7121</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>, and he shall send<S>5414</S> thunder<S>6963</S> and rain<S>4306</S>; that you may perceive<S>3045</S> and see<S>7200</S> that your wickedness<S>7451</S> is great<S>7227</S>, which you have done<S>6213</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, in asking<S>7592</S> you a king<S>4428</S>.


text:
So Samuel<S>8050</S> called<S>7121</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>; and the Lord<S>3068</S> sent<S>5414</S> thunder<S>6963</S> and rain<S>4306</S> that day<S>3117</S>: and all the people<S>5971</S> greatly<S>3966</S> feared<S>3372</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> and Samuel<S>8050</S>.


text:
And all the people<S>5971</S> said<S>559</S> unto Samuel<S>8050</S>, Pray<S>6419</S> for your servants<S>5650</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>, that we die<S>4191</S> not<S>3254</S>: for we have added unto all our sins<S>2403</S> this evil<S>7451</S>, to ask<S>7592</S> us a king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> unto the people<S>5971</S>, Fear<S>3372</S> not<S>6213</S>: you have done all this wickedness<S>7451</S>: yet turn not aside<S>5493</S> from following<S>310</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, but serve<S>5647</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> with all your heart<S>3824</S>;


text:
And turn you not aside<S>5493</S>: for then should you go after<S>310</S> vain<S>8414</S> things<S>3276</S>, which cannot profit nor deliver<S>5337</S>; for they are vain<S>8414</S>.


text:
For the Lord<S>3068</S> will not forsake<S>5203</S> his people<S>5971</S> for his great<S>1419</S> name<S>8034</S>'s sake<S>2974</S>: because it has pleased the Lord<S>3068</S> to make<S>6213</S> you his people<S>5971</S>.


text:
Moreover as for me<S>595</S>, God forbid<S>2486</S> that I should sin<S>2398</S> against the Lord<S>3068</S> in ceasing<S>2308</S> to pray<S>6419</S> for you<S>3384</S>: but I will teach you the good<S>2896</S> and the right<S>3477</S> way<S>1870</S>:


text:
Only fear<S>3372</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, and serve<S>5647</S> him in truth<S>571</S> with all your heart<S>3824</S>: for consider<S>7200</S> how great things he has done for you<S>1431</S>.


text:
But if you shall still<S>7489</S> do wickedly<S>7489</S>, you shall be consumed<S>5595</S>, both you and your king<S>4428</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> reigned<S>4427</S> one year<S>1121</S>; and when he had reigned<S>4427</S> two<S>8147</S> years<S>8141</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>,


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> chose<S>977</S> him three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> men of Israel<S>3478</S>; whereof two thousand<S>505</S> were with Saul<S>7586</S> in Michmash<S>4363</S> and in mountain<S>2022</S> Beth<S>1008</S>–el, and a thousand<S>505</S> were with Jonathan<S>3129</S> in Gibeah<S>1390</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>: and the rest<S>3499</S> of the people<S>5971</S> he sent<S>7971</S> every man<S>376</S> to his tent<S>168</S>.


text:
And Jonathan<S>3129</S> struck<S>5221</S> the garrison<S>5333</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> that was in Geba<S>1387</S>, and the Philistines<S>6430</S> heard<S>8085</S> of it<S>7586</S>. And Saul blew<S>8628</S> the trumpet<S>7782</S> throughout all the land<S>776</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Let the Hebrews<S>5680</S> hear<S>8085</S>.


text:
And all Israel<S>3478</S> heard<S>8085</S> say<S>559</S> that Saul<S>7586</S> had struck<S>5221</S> a garrison<S>5333</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and that Israel<S>3478</S> also was had in abomination<S>887</S> with the Philistines<S>6430</S>. And the people<S>5971</S> were called together<S>6817</S> after<S>310</S> Saul<S>7586</S> to Gilgal<S>1537</S>.


text:
And the Philistines<S>6430</S> gathered themselves together<S>622</S> to fight<S>3898</S> with Israel<S>3478</S>, thirty<S>7970</S> thousand<S>505</S> chariots<S>7393</S>, and six<S>8337</S> thousand<S>505</S> horsemen<S>6571</S>, and people<S>5971</S> as the sand<S>2344</S> which is on the sea<S>3220</S> shore<S>8193</S> in multitude<S>7230</S>: and they came up<S>5927</S>, and pitched<S>2583</S> in Michmash<S>4363</S>, eastward<S>6926</S> from Beth<S>1007</S>–aven.

When the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> saw<S>7200</S> that they were in a narrow<S>6887</S>, (for the people<S>5971</S> were distressed<S>5065</S>,) then the people<S>5971</S> did hide<S>2244</S> themselves in caves<S>4631</S>, and in thickets<S>2337</S>, and in rocks<S>5553</S>, and in high places<S>6877</S>, and in pits<S>953</S>.


text:
And some of the Hebrews<S>5680</S> went over<S>5674</S> Jordan<S>3383</S> to the land<S>776</S> of Gad<S>1410</S> and Gilead<S>1568</S>. As for Saul<S>7586</S>, he was yet in Gilgal<S>1537</S>, and all the people<S>5971</S> followed<S>310</S> him trembling<S>2729</S>.


text:
And he stayed<S>3176</S> seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>, according to the set time<S>4150</S> that Samuel<S>8050</S> had appointed<S>8050</S>: but Samuel came<S>935</S> not to Gilgal<S>1537</S>; and the people<S>5971</S> were scattered from him<S>6327</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, Bring here<S>5066</S> a burnt offering<S>5930</S> to me<S>8002</S>, and peace offerings. And he offered<S>5927</S> the burnt offering<S>5930</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>3615</S>, that as soon as he had made an end of offering<S>5927</S> the burnt offering<S>5930</S>, behold<S>8050</S>, Samuel came<S>935</S>; and Saul<S>7586</S> went out<S>3318</S> to meet<S>7125</S> him<S>1288</S>, that he might greet him.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S>, What have you done<S>6213</S>? And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, Because I saw<S>7200</S> that the people<S>5971</S> were scattered<S>5310</S> from me<S>935</S>, and that you came not inside the days<S>3117</S> appointed<S>4150</S>, and that the Philistines<S>6430</S> gathered themselves together<S>622</S> at Michmash<S>4363</S>;


text:
Therefore said<S>559</S> I<S>6430</S>, The Philistines will come down<S>3381</S> now upon me to Gilgal<S>1537</S>, and I have not made supplication<S>2470</S> unto<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>: I forced<S>662</S> myself therefore<S>5927</S>, and offered a burnt offering<S>5930</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, You have done foolishly<S>5528</S>: you have not kept<S>8104</S> the commandment<S>4687</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>, which he commanded<S>6680</S> you<S>3068</S>: for now would the Lord have established<S>3559</S> your kingdom<S>4467</S> upon Israel<S>3478</S> for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>.


text:
But now your kingdom<S>4467</S> shall not continue<S>6965</S>: the Lord<S>3068</S> has sought<S>1245</S> him a man<S>376</S> after his own heart<S>3824</S>, and the Lord<S>3068</S> has commanded<S>6680</S> him to be captain<S>5057</S> over his people<S>5971</S>, because you have not kept<S>8104</S> that which the Lord<S>3068</S> commanded you<S>6680</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and gat him up<S>5927</S> from Gilgal<S>1537</S> unto Gibeah<S>1390</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>. And Saul<S>7586</S> numbered<S>6485</S> the people<S>5971</S> that were present<S>4672</S> with him<S>8337</S>, about six hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S>, and Jonathan<S>3129</S> his son<S>1121</S>, and the people<S>5971</S> that were present<S>4672</S> with them<S>3427</S>, lived in Gibeah<S>1387</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S>: but the Philistines<S>6430</S> encamped<S>2583</S> in Michmash<S>4363</S>.


text:
And the spoilers<S>7843</S> came out<S>3318</S> of the camp<S>4264</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> in three<S>7969</S> companies<S>7218</S>: one<S>259</S> company<S>7218</S> turned<S>6437</S> unto the way<S>1870</S> that leads to Ophrah<S>6084</S>, unto the land<S>776</S> of Shual<S>7777</S>:


text:
And another<S>259</S> company<S>7218</S> turned<S>6437</S> the way<S>1870</S> to Beth<S>1032</S>–horon: and another<S>259</S> company<S>7218</S> turned<S>6437</S> to the way<S>1870</S> of the border<S>1366</S> that looks<S>8259</S> to the valley<S>1516</S> of Zeboim<S>6650</S> toward the wilderness<S>4057</S>.


text:
Now there was no smith<S>2796</S> found<S>4672</S> throughout all the land<S>776</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: for the Philistines<S>6430</S> said<S>559</S>, Lest the Hebrews<S>5680</S> make<S>6213</S> them swords<S>2719</S> or spears<S>2595</S>:


text:
But all the Israelites<S>3478</S> went down<S>3381</S> to the Philistines<S>6430</S>, to sharpen<S>3913</S> every man<S>376</S> his share<S>4282</S>, and his coulter<S>855</S>, and his axe<S>7134</S>, and his mattock<S>4281</S>.


text:
Yet they had a file<S>6477</S> for the mattocks<S>4281</S>, and for the coulters<S>855</S>, and for the forks<S>7969</S>, and for the axes<S>7134</S>, and to sharpen<S>5324</S> the goads<S>1861</S>.


text:
So it came to pass in the day<S>3117</S> of battle<S>4421</S>, that there was neither sword<S>2719</S> nor spear<S>2595</S> found<S>4672</S> in the hand<S>3027</S> of any of the people<S>5971</S> that were with Saul<S>7586</S> and Jonathan<S>3129</S>: but with Saul<S>7586</S> and with Jonathan<S>3129</S> his son<S>1121</S> was there found<S>4672</S>.


text:
And the garrison<S>4673</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> went out<S>3318</S> to the passage<S>4569</S> of Michmash<S>4363</S>.


text:
Now it came to pass upon a day<S>3117</S>, that Jonathan<S>3129</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto the young man<S>5288</S> that bore<S>5375</S> his armour<S>3627</S>, Come<S>3212</S>, and let us go over<S>5674</S> to the Philistines<S>6430</S>' garrison<S>4673</S>, that is on the other side<S>5676</S>. But he told<S>5046</S> not his father<S>1</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> stayed<S>3427</S> in the outermost<S>7097</S> part of Gibeah<S>1390</S> under a pomegranate tree<S>7416</S> which is in Migron<S>4051</S>: and the people<S>5971</S> that were with him were about six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>;


text:
And Ahiah<S>281</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Ahitub<S>285</S>, I<S>350</S>–chabod's brother<S>251</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Phinehas<S>6372</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Eli<S>5941</S>, the Lord<S>3068</S>'s priest<S>3548</S> in Shiloh<S>7887</S>, wearing<S>5375</S> an ephod<S>646</S>. And the people<S>5971</S> knew<S>3045</S> not that Jonathan<S>3129</S> was gone<S>1980</S>.


text:
And between the passages<S>4569</S>, by which Jonathan<S>3129</S> sought<S>1245</S> to go over<S>5674</S> unto the Philistines<S>6430</S>' garrison<S>4673</S>, there was a sharp<S>8127</S> rock<S>5553</S> on the one side<S>5676</S>, and a sharp<S>8127</S> rock<S>5553</S> on the other side<S>5676</S>: and the name<S>8034</S> of the one<S>259</S> was Bozez<S>949</S>, and the name<S>8034</S> of the other<S>259</S> Seneh<S>5573</S>.


text:
The forefront<S>8127</S> of the one<S>259</S> was situated<S>4690</S> northward<S>6828</S> over against<S>4136</S> Michmash<S>4363</S>, and the other<S>259</S> southward<S>5045</S> over against<S>4136</S> Gibeah<S>1387</S>.


text:
And Jonathan<S>3083</S> said<S>559</S> to the young man<S>5288</S> that bore<S>5375</S> his armour<S>3627</S>, Come<S>3212</S>, and let us go over<S>5674</S> unto the garrison<S>4673</S> of these uncircumcised<S>6189</S>: it may be that the Lord<S>3068</S> will work<S>6213</S> for us<S>4622</S>: for there is no restraint to the Lord<S>3068</S> to save<S>3467</S> by many<S>7227</S> or by few<S>4592</S>.


text:
And his armor bearer<S>5375</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>6213</S>, Do all that is in your heart<S>3824</S>: turn<S>5186</S> you<S>3824</S>; behold, I am with you according to your heart.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Jonathan<S>3083</S>, Behold<S>5674</S>, we will pass over unto these men<S>582</S>, and we will discover ourselves unto them<S>1540</S>.


text:
If they say<S>559</S> thus unto us<S>1826</S>, Stay until we come<S>5060</S> to you<S>5975</S>; then we will stand still in our place<S>5927</S>, and will not go up unto them.


text:
But if they say<S>559</S> thus<S>5927</S>, Come up unto us<S>5927</S>; then we will go up: for the Lord<S>3068</S> has delivered<S>5414</S> them into our hand<S>3027</S>: and this shall be a sign unto us<S>226</S>.


text:
And both<S>8147</S> of them discovered<S>1540</S> themselves unto the garrison<S>4673</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>: and the Philistines<S>6430</S> said<S>559</S>, Behold<S>5680</S>, the Hebrews come forth<S>3318</S> out of the holes<S>2356</S> where they had hid themselves<S>2244</S>.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> of the garrison<S>4675</S> answered<S>6030</S> Jonathan<S>3129</S> and his armor bearer<S>5375</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Come up<S>5927</S> to us<S>3045</S>, and we will show you a thing<S>1697</S>. And Jonathan<S>3129</S> said<S>559</S> unto his armor bearer<S>5375</S>, Come up<S>5927</S> after<S>310</S> me<S>3068</S>: for the Lord has delivered<S>5414</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And Jonathan<S>3129</S> climbed up<S>5927</S> upon his hands<S>3027</S> and upon his feet<S>7272</S>, and his armor bearer<S>5375</S> after<S>310</S> him<S>5307</S>: and they fell before<S>6440</S> Jonathan<S>3129</S>; and his armor bearer<S>5375</S> killed<S>4191</S> after him<S>310</S>.


text:
And that first<S>7223</S> slaughter<S>4347</S>, which Jonathan<S>3129</S> and his armor bearer<S>5375</S> made<S>5221</S>, was about twenty<S>6242</S> men<S>376</S>, inside as it were an half<S>2677</S> acre<S>4618</S> of land<S>7704</S>, which a yoke of oxen might plow<S>6776</S>.


text:
And there was trembling<S>2731</S> in the army<S>4264</S>, in the field<S>7704</S>, and among all the people<S>5971</S>: the garrison<S>4673</S>, and the spoilers<S>7843</S>, they also trembled<S>2729</S>, and the earth<S>776</S> quaked<S>7264</S>: so it was a very great<S>430</S> trembling<S>2731</S>.


text:
And the watchmen<S>6822</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> in Gibeah<S>1390</S> of Benjamin<S>1144</S> looked<S>7200</S>; and<S>1995</S>, behold, the multitude melted away<S>4127</S>, and they went<S>3212</S> on beating down one another<S>1986</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Saul<S>7586</S> unto the people<S>5971</S> that were with him<S>6485</S>, Number now<S>7200</S>, and see who is gone<S>1980</S> from us<S>6485</S>. And when they had numbered, behold<S>3129</S>, Jonathan and his armor bearer were not there<S>5375</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto Ahiah<S>281</S>, Bring here<S>5066</S> the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S>. For the ark<S>727</S> of God<S>430</S> was at that time<S>3117</S> with the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>7586</S>, while Saul talked<S>1696</S> unto the priest<S>3548</S>, that the noise<S>1995</S> that was in the army<S>4264</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> went<S>3212</S> on<S>1980</S> and increased<S>7227</S>: and Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto the priest<S>3548</S>, Withdraw<S>622</S> your hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> and all the people<S>5971</S> that were with him assembled<S>2199</S> themselves<S>935</S>, and they came to the battle<S>4421</S>: and<S>376</S>, behold, every man's sword<S>2719</S> was against his fellow<S>7453</S>, and there was a very<S>3966</S> great<S>1419</S> confusion<S>4103</S>.


text:
Moreover the Hebrews<S>5680</S> that were with the Philistines<S>6430</S> before<S>865</S> that time<S>8032</S>, which went up<S>5927</S> with them into the camp<S>4264</S> from the country round about<S>5439</S>, even they also turned to be with the Israelites<S>3478</S> that were with Saul<S>7586</S> and Jonathan<S>3129</S>.


text:
Likewise all the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> which had hid<S>2244</S> themselves in mountain<S>2022</S> Ephraim<S>669</S>, when they heard<S>8085</S> that the Philistines<S>6430</S> fled<S>5127</S>, even they also followed hard<S>1692</S> after<S>310</S> them in the battle<S>4421</S>.


text:
So the Lord<S>3068</S> saved<S>3467</S> Israel<S>3478</S> that day<S>3117</S>: and the battle<S>4421</S> passed over<S>5674</S> unto Beth<S>1007</S>–aven.


text:
And the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were distressed<S>5065</S> that day<S>3117</S>: for Saul<S>7586</S> had adjured<S>422</S> the people<S>5971</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Cursed<S>779</S> be the man<S>376</S> that eat<S>398</S> any food<S>3899</S> until evening<S>6153</S>, that I may be avenged<S>5358</S> on my enemies<S>341</S>. So none of the people<S>5971</S> tasted<S>2938</S> any food<S>3899</S>.


text:
And all they of the land<S>776</S> came<S>935</S> to a wood<S>3293</S>; and there was honey<S>1706</S> upon<S>6440</S> the ground<S>7704</S>.


text:
And when the people<S>5971</S> were come<S>935</S> into the wood<S>3293</S>, behold<S>1706</S>, the honey dropped<S>1982</S>; but no man put<S>5381</S> his hand<S>3027</S> to his mouth<S>6310</S>: for the people<S>5971</S> feared<S>3372</S> the oath<S>7621</S>.


text:
But Jonathan<S>3129</S> heard<S>8085</S> not when his father<S>1</S> commanded<S>7650</S> the people<S>5971</S> with the oath<S>7650</S>: why he put forth<S>7971</S> the end<S>7097</S> of the rod<S>4294</S> that was in his hand<S>3027</S>, and dipped<S>2881</S> it in an honeycomb<S>3295</S>, and put<S>7725</S> his hand<S>3027</S> to his mouth<S>6310</S>; and his eyes<S>5869</S> were enlightened<S>215</S>.


text:
Then answered<S>6030</S> one<S>376</S> of the people<S>5971</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Your father<S>1</S> directly<S>7650</S> commanded<S>7650</S> the people<S>5971</S> with an oath<S>7650</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Cursed<S>779</S> be the man<S>376</S> that eat<S>398</S> any food<S>3899</S> this day<S>3117</S>. And the people<S>5971</S> were faint<S>5774</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Jonathan<S>3129</S>, My father<S>1</S> has troubled<S>5916</S> the land<S>776</S>: see<S>7200</S>, I pray you<S>5869</S>, how my eyes have been enlightened<S>215</S>, because I tasted<S>2938</S> a little<S>4592</S> of this honey<S>1706</S>.


text:
How much more<S>637</S>, if haply<S>3863</S> the people<S>5971</S> had eaten<S>398</S> freely<S>398</S> to day<S>3117</S> of the plunder<S>7998</S> of their enemies<S>341</S> which they found<S>4672</S>? for had there not been now a much greater<S>7235</S> slaughter<S>4347</S> among the Philistines<S>6430</S>?


text:
And they struck<S>5221</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S> that day<S>3117</S> from Michmash<S>4363</S> to Aijalon<S>357</S>: and the people<S>5971</S> were very<S>3966</S> faint<S>5774</S>.


text:
And the people<S>5971</S> flew<S>5860</S> upon the plunder<S>7998</S>, and took<S>3947</S> sheep<S>6629</S>, and oxen<S>1241</S>, and calves<S>1121</S>, and killed<S>7819</S> them on the ground<S>776</S>: and the people<S>5971</S> did eat<S>398</S> them with the blood<S>1818</S>.


text:
Then they told<S>5046</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Behold<S>5971</S>, the people sin<S>2398</S> against the Lord<S>3068</S>, in that they eat<S>398</S> with the blood<S>1818</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, You have transgressed<S>898</S>: roll<S>1556</S> a great<S>1419</S> stone<S>68</S> unto me this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, Disperse<S>6327</S> yourselves among the people<S>5971</S>, and say<S>559</S> unto them<S>5066</S>, Bring me here every man<S>376</S> his ox<S>7794</S>, and every man<S>376</S> his sheep<S>7716</S>, and kill<S>7819</S> them here<S>398</S>, and eat; and sin<S>2398</S> not against the Lord<S>3068</S> in eating<S>398</S> with the blood<S>1818</S>. And all the people<S>5971</S> brought<S>5066</S> every man<S>376</S> his ox<S>7794</S> with him<S>3027</S> that night<S>3915</S>, and killed them there<S>7819</S>.

And Saul<S>7586</S> built<S>1129</S> an altar<S>4196</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>: the same was the first<S>2490</S> altar<S>4196</S> that he built<S>1129</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, Let us go down<S>3381</S> after<S>310</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S> by night<S>3915</S>, and plunder<S>962</S> them until the morning<S>1242</S> light<S>216</S>, and let us not leave<S>7604</S> a man<S>376</S> of them<S>559</S>. And they said, Do<S>6213</S> whatever seems<S>5869</S> good<S>2896</S> unto you<S>559</S>. Then said the priest<S>3548</S>, Let us draw near<S>7126</S> here<S>1988</S> unto God<S>430</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> asked<S>7592</S> counsel of God<S>430</S>, Shall I go down<S>3381</S> after<S>310</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>? will you deliver<S>5414</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>? But he answered<S>6030</S> him not that day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, Draw you near<S>5066</S> here<S>1988</S>, all the chief<S>6438</S> of the people<S>5971</S>: and know<S>3045</S> and see<S>7200</S> where<S>4100</S> this sin<S>2403</S> has been this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
For<S>3068</S>, as the Lord lives<S>2416</S>, which saves<S>3467</S> Israel<S>3478</S>, though it be<S>3426</S> in Jonathan<S>3129</S> my son<S>1121</S>, he shall surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>. But there was not a man among all the people<S>5971</S> that answered him<S>6030</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> he unto all Israel<S>3478</S>, Be you on one<S>259</S> side<S>5676</S>, and I and Jonathan<S>3129</S> my son<S>1121</S> will be on the other<S>259</S> side<S>5676</S>. And the people<S>5971</S> said<S>559</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>, Do<S>6213</S> what seems<S>5869</S> good unto you<S>2896</S>.


text:
Therefore Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, Give<S>3051</S> a perfect<S>8549</S> lot<S>7586</S>. And Saul and Jonathan<S>3129</S> were taken<S>3920</S>: but the people<S>5971</S> escaped<S>3318</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, Cast<S>5307</S> lots between me and Jonathan<S>3129</S> my son<S>1121</S>. And Jonathan<S>3129</S> was taken<S>3920</S>.


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to Jonathan<S>3129</S>, Tell<S>5046</S> me what you have done<S>6213</S>. And Jonathan<S>3129</S> told<S>5046</S> him<S>559</S>, and said, I did but<S>2938</S> taste<S>2938</S> a little<S>4592</S> honey<S>1706</S> with the end<S>7097</S> of the rod<S>4294</S> that was in my hand<S>3027</S>, and<S>2009</S>, behold, I must die<S>4191</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> answered<S>559</S>, God<S>430</S> do so<S>6213</S> and more also<S>3254</S>: for you shall surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>, Jonathan<S>3129</S>.


text:
And the people<S>5971</S> said<S>559</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>, Shall Jonathan<S>3129</S> die<S>4191</S>, who has worked<S>6213</S> this great<S>1419</S> salvation<S>3444</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>? God forbid<S>2486</S>: as the Lord<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, there shall not one hair<S>8185</S> of his head<S>7218</S> fall<S>5307</S> to the ground<S>776</S>; for he has worked<S>6213</S> with God<S>430</S> this day<S>3117</S>. So the people<S>5971</S> rescued<S>6299</S> Jonathan<S>3129</S>, that he died not<S>4191</S>.


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S> went up<S>5927</S> from following<S>310</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>: and the Philistines<S>6430</S> went<S>1980</S> to their own place<S>4725</S>.


text:
So Saul<S>7586</S> took<S>3920</S> the kingdom<S>4410</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>, and fought<S>3898</S> against all his enemies<S>341</S> on every side<S>5439</S>, against Moab<S>4124</S>, and against the sons<S>1121</S> of Ammon<S>5983</S>, and against Edom<S>123</S>, and against the kings<S>4428</S> of Zobah<S>6678</S>, and against the Philistines<S>6430</S>: and wherever he turned<S>6437</S> himself<S>7561</S>, he troubled them.


text:
And he gathered<S>6213</S> an army<S>2428</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> the Amalekites<S>6002</S>, and delivered<S>5337</S> Israel<S>3478</S> out of the hands<S>3027</S> of them that spoiled them<S>8154</S>.


text:
Now the sons<S>1121</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> were Jonathan<S>3129</S>, and Ishui<S>3440</S>, and Melchi<S>4444</S>–shua: and the names<S>8034</S> of his two<S>8147</S> daughters<S>1323</S> were these<S>8034</S>; the name of the firstborn<S>1067</S> Merab<S>4764</S>, and the name<S>8034</S> of the younger<S>6996</S> Michal<S>4324</S>:


text:
And the name<S>8034</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>'s wife<S>802</S> was Ahinoam<S>293</S>, the daughter<S>1323</S> of Ahimaaz<S>290</S>: and the name<S>8034</S> of the captain<S>8269</S> of his army<S>6635</S> was Abner<S>74</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Ner<S>5369</S>, Saul<S>7586</S>'s uncle<S>1730</S>.


text:
And Kish<S>7027</S> was the father<S>1</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>; and Ner<S>5369</S> the father<S>1</S> of Abner<S>74</S> was the son<S>1121</S> of Abiel<S>22</S>.


text:
And there was severe<S>2389</S> war<S>4421</S> against the Philistines<S>6430</S> all the days<S>3117</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>: and when Saul<S>7586</S> saw<S>7200</S> any strong<S>1368</S> man<S>376</S>, or any valiant<S>2428</S> man<S>1121</S>, he took him unto him<S>622</S>.


text:
Samuel<S>8050</S> also said<S>559</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>, The Lord<S>3068</S> sent<S>7971</S> me to anoint<S>4886</S> you to be king<S>4428</S> over his people<S>5971</S>, over Israel<S>3478</S>: now therefore listen<S>8085</S> unto the voice<S>6963</S> of the words<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
Thus says<S>559</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> of hosts<S>6635</S>, I remember<S>6485</S> that which Amalek<S>6002</S> did<S>6213</S> to Israel<S>3478</S>, how he laid<S>7760</S> wait for him in the way<S>1870</S>, when he came up<S>5927</S> from Egypt<S>4714</S>.


text:
Now go<S>3212</S> and strike<S>5221</S> Amalek<S>6002</S>, and utterly destroy<S>2763</S> all that they have<S>2550</S>, and spare them not<S>4191</S>; but kill both man<S>376</S> and woman<S>802</S>, infant<S>5768</S> and suckling<S>3243</S>, ox<S>7794</S> and sheep<S>7716</S>, camel<S>1581</S> and donkey<S>2543</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> gathered<S>8085</S> the people<S>5971</S> together<S>8085</S>, and numbered<S>6485</S> them in Telaim<S>2923</S>, two hundred<S>3967</S> thousand<S>505</S> footmen<S>7273</S>, and ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> men<S>376</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> came<S>935</S> to a city<S>5892</S> of Amalek<S>6002</S>, and laid wait<S>7378</S> in the valley<S>5158</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto the Kenites<S>7017</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, depart<S>5493</S>, get you down<S>3381</S> from among<S>8432</S> the Amalekites<S>6002</S>, lest I destroy<S>622</S> you with them<S>6213</S>: for you showed kindness<S>2617</S> to all the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, when they came up<S>5927</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S>. So the Kenites<S>7017</S> departed<S>5493</S> from among<S>8432</S> the Amalekites<S>6003</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> struck<S>5221</S> the Amalekites<S>6002</S> from Havilah<S>2341</S> until you come<S>935</S> to Shur<S>7793</S>, that is over against<S>6440</S> Egypt<S>4714</S>.


text:
And he took<S>8610</S> Agag<S>90</S> the king<S>4428</S> of the Amalekites<S>6002</S> alive<S>2416</S>, and utterly destroyed<S>2763</S> all the people<S>5971</S> with the edge<S>6310</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
But Saul<S>7586</S> and the people<S>5971</S> spared<S>2550</S> Agag<S>90</S>, and the best<S>4315</S> of the sheep<S>6629</S>, and of the oxen<S>1241</S>, and of the fatlings<S>4932</S>, and the lambs<S>3733</S>, and all that was good<S>2896</S>, and would<S>14</S> not utterly destroy<S>2763</S> them<S>4399</S>: but every thing that was vile<S>5240</S> and refuse<S>4549</S>, that they destroyed utterly<S>2763</S>.


text:
It grieves<S>5162</S> me that I have set up<S>4427</S> Saul<S>7586</S> to be king<S>4428</S>: for he is turned back<S>7725</S> from following<S>310</S> me<S>6965</S>, and has not performed my commandments<S>1697</S>. And it angered<S>2734</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>; and he cried<S>2199</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> all night<S>3915</S>.


text:
And when Samuel<S>8050</S> rose early<S>7925</S> to meet<S>7125</S> Saul<S>7586</S> in the morning<S>1242</S>, it was told<S>5046</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Saul<S>7586</S> came<S>935</S> to Carmel<S>3760</S>, and<S>5324</S>, behold, he set him up a place<S>3027</S>, and is gone about<S>5437</S>, and passed on<S>5674</S>, and gone down<S>3381</S> to Gilgal<S>1537</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> came<S>935</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>: and Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>1288</S>, Blessed be you of the Lord<S>3068</S>: I have performed<S>6965</S> the commandment<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S>, What means then this bleating<S>6963</S> of the sheep<S>6629</S> in my ears<S>241</S>, and the lowing<S>6963</S> of the oxen<S>1241</S> which I hear<S>8085</S>?


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, They have brought<S>935</S> them from the Amalekites<S>6003</S>: for the people<S>5971</S> spared<S>2550</S> the best<S>4315</S> of the sheep<S>6629</S> and of the oxen<S>1241</S>, to sacrifice<S>2076</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>; and the rest<S>3498</S> we have utterly destroyed<S>2763</S>.


text:
Then Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>, Stay<S>7503</S>, and I will tell<S>5046</S> you what the Lord<S>3068</S> has said<S>1696</S> to me this night<S>3915</S>. And he said<S>559</S> unto him<S>1696</S>, Say on.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S>, When you were little<S>6996</S> in your own sight<S>5869</S>, were you not made the head<S>7218</S> of the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and the Lord<S>3068</S> anointed<S>4886</S> you king<S>4428</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> sent<S>7971</S> you on a journey<S>1870</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S> and utterly destroy<S>2763</S> the sinners<S>2400</S> the Amalekites<S>6002</S>, and fight<S>3898</S> against them until they be consumed<S>3615</S>.


text:
Why then did you not obey<S>8085</S> the voice<S>6963</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, but did fly<S>5860</S> upon the plunder<S>7998</S>, and did<S>6213</S> evil<S>7451</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>?


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto Samuel<S>8050</S>, Yes<S>8085</S>, I have obeyed the voice<S>6963</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and have gone<S>3212</S> the way<S>1870</S> which the Lord<S>3068</S> sent<S>7971</S> me<S>935</S>, and have brought Agag<S>90</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Amalek<S>6002</S>, and have utterly destroyed<S>2763</S> the Amalekites<S>6002</S>.


text:
But the people<S>5971</S> took<S>3947</S> of the plunder<S>7998</S>, sheep<S>6629</S> and oxen<S>1241</S>, the chief<S>7225</S> of the things which should have been utterly destroyed<S>2764</S>, to sacrifice<S>2076</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S> in Gilgal<S>1537</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S>, Has the Lord<S>3068</S> as great delight<S>2656</S> in burnt offerings<S>5930</S> and sacrifices<S>2077</S>, as in obeying<S>8085</S> the voice<S>6963</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>? Behold<S>8085</S>, to obey is better<S>2896</S> than sacrifice<S>2077</S>, and to listen<S>7181</S> than the fat<S>2459</S> of rams<S>352</S>.


text:
For rebellion<S>4805</S> is as the sin<S>2403</S> of witchcraft<S>7081</S>, and stubbornness<S>6484</S> is as iniquity<S>205</S> and idolatry<S>8655</S>. Because you have rejected<S>3988</S> the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, he has also rejected<S>3988</S> you from being king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto Samuel<S>8050</S>, I have sinned<S>2398</S>: for I have transgressed<S>5674</S> the commandment<S>6310</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and your words<S>1697</S>: because I feared<S>3372</S> the people<S>5971</S>, and obeyed<S>8085</S> their voice<S>6963</S>.


text:
Now therefore<S>5375</S>, I pray you, pardon my sin<S>2403</S>, and turn again<S>7725</S> with me<S>7812</S>, that I may worship the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>, I will not return<S>7725</S> with you<S>3988</S>: for you have rejected the word<S>1697</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and the Lord<S>3068</S> has rejected<S>3988</S> you from being king<S>4428</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And as Samuel<S>8050</S> turned about<S>5437</S> to go away<S>3212</S>, he laid hold<S>2388</S> upon the skirt<S>3671</S> of his mantle<S>4598</S>, and it tore<S>7167</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3068</S>, The Lord has torn<S>7167</S> the kingdom<S>4468</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> from you this day<S>3117</S>, and has given<S>5414</S> it to a neighbor<S>7453</S> of yours<S>2896</S>, that is better than you.


text:
And also the Strength<S>5331</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> will not lie<S>8266</S> nor repent<S>5162</S>: for he is not a man<S>120</S>, that he should repent<S>5162</S>.


text:
Then he said<S>559</S>, I have sinned<S>2398</S>: yet honor<S>3513</S> me now<S>2205</S>, I pray you, before the elders of my people<S>5971</S>, and before Israel<S>3478</S>, and turn again<S>7725</S> with me<S>7812</S>, that I may worship the Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>.


text:
So Samuel<S>8050</S> turned again<S>7725</S> after<S>310</S> Saul<S>7586</S>; and Saul<S>7586</S> worshiped<S>7812</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>, Bring you here<S>5066</S> to me Agag<S>90</S> the king<S>4428</S> of the Amalekites<S>6002</S>. And Agag<S>90</S> came<S>3212</S> unto him delicately<S>4574</S>. And Agag<S>90</S> said<S>559</S>, Surely<S>403</S> the bitterness<S>4751</S> of death<S>4194</S> is past<S>5493</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S>, As your sword<S>2719</S> has made women<S>802</S> childless<S>7921</S>, so shall your mother<S>517</S> be childless<S>7921</S> among women<S>802</S>. And Samuel<S>8050</S> hewed<S>8158</S> Agag<S>90</S> in pieces<S>8158</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> in Gilgal<S>1537</S>.


text:
Then Samuel<S>8050</S> went<S>3212</S> to Ramah<S>7414</S>; and Saul<S>7586</S> went up<S>5927</S> to his house<S>1004</S> to Gibeah<S>1390</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> came no more<S>3254</S> to see<S>7200</S> Saul<S>7586</S> until the day<S>3117</S> of his death<S>4194</S>: nevertheless<S>3588</S> Samuel<S>8050</S> mourned<S>56</S> for Saul<S>7586</S>: and the Lord<S>3068</S> sighed<S>5162</S> that he had made Saul<S>7586</S> king<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto Samuel<S>8050</S>, How long will you mourn<S>56</S> for Saul<S>7586</S>, seeing I have rejected<S>3988</S> him from reigning<S>4427</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>? fill<S>4390</S> your horn<S>7161</S> with oil<S>8081</S>, and go<S>3212</S>, I will send<S>7971</S> you to Jesse<S>3448</S> the Beth<S>1022</S>–lehemite: for I have provided<S>7200</S> me a king<S>4428</S> among his sons<S>1121</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S>, How can I go<S>3212</S>? if Saul<S>7586</S> hear<S>8085</S> it<S>2026</S>, he will kill me<S>3068</S>. And the Lord said<S>559</S>, Take<S>3947</S> a heifer<S>1241</S> with you<S>3027</S>, and say<S>559</S>, I am come<S>935</S> to sacrifice<S>2076</S> to the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And call<S>7121</S> Jesse<S>3448</S> to the sacrifice<S>2077</S>, and I will show<S>3045</S> you what you shall do<S>6213</S>: and you shall anoint<S>4886</S> unto me him whom I name unto you<S>559</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> did<S>6213</S> that which the Lord<S>3068</S> spoke<S>1696</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Beth<S>1035</S>–lehem. And the elders<S>2205</S> of the town<S>5892</S> trembled<S>2729</S> at his coming<S>7125</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Come<S>935</S> you peaceably<S>7965</S>?


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Peaceably<S>7965</S>: I am come<S>935</S> to sacrifice<S>2076</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S>: sanctify<S>6942</S> yourselves<S>935</S>, and come with me to the sacrifice<S>2077</S>. And he sanctified<S>6942</S> Jesse<S>3448</S> and his sons<S>1121</S>, and called<S>7121</S> them to the sacrifice<S>2077</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>935</S>, when they were come, that he looked<S>7200</S> on Eliab<S>446</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Surely the Lord<S>3068</S>'s anointed is before him<S>4899</S>.


text:
But the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto Samuel<S>8050</S>, Look<S>5027</S> not on his favor<S>4758</S>, or on the height<S>1364</S> of his stature<S>6967</S>; because I have refused<S>3988</S> him<S>120</S>: for the Lord sees not as man sees<S>7200</S>; for man<S>120</S> looks<S>7200</S> on the outward appearance<S>5869</S>, but the Lord<S>3068</S> looks<S>7200</S> on the heart<S>3824</S>.


text:
Then Jesse<S>3448</S> called<S>7121</S> Abinadab<S>41</S>, and made him pass<S>5674</S> before<S>6440</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, Neither has the Lord<S>3068</S> chosen this<S>977</S>.


text:
Then Jesse<S>3448</S> made Shammah<S>8048</S> to pass by<S>5674</S>. And he said<S>559</S>, Neither has the Lord<S>3068</S> chosen this<S>977</S>.


text:
Again<S>3448</S>, Jesse made seven<S>7651</S> of his sons<S>1121</S> to pass<S>5674</S> before<S>6440</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>. And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> unto Jesse<S>3448</S>, The Lord<S>3068</S> has not chosen these<S>977</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> unto Jesse<S>3448</S>, Are here all<S>8552</S> your sons<S>5288</S>? And he said<S>559</S>, There remains<S>7604</S> yet the youngest<S>6996</S>, and<S>7462</S>, behold, he keeps the sheep<S>6629</S>. And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> unto Jesse<S>3448</S>, Send<S>7971</S> and fetch<S>3947</S> him<S>5437</S>: for we will not sit down until he come<S>935</S> here<S>6311</S>.


text:
And he sent<S>7971</S>, and brought him in<S>935</S>. Now he was ruddy<S>132</S>, and had<S>5973</S> a beautiful<S>3303</S> face<S>5869</S>, and good<S>2896</S> to look upon<S>7210</S>. And the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S>, Arise<S>6965</S>, anoint him<S>4886</S>: for this is he.


text:
Then Samuel<S>8050</S> took<S>3947</S> the horn<S>7161</S> of oil<S>8081</S>, and anointed<S>4886</S> him in the middle<S>7130</S> of his brothers<S>251</S>: and the Spirit<S>7307</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> came<S>6743</S> upon David<S>1732</S> from that day<S>3117</S> forward<S>4605</S>. So Samuel<S>8050</S> rose up<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Ramah<S>7414</S>.


text:
But the Spirit<S>7307</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> departed<S>5493</S> from Saul<S>7586</S>, and an evil<S>7451</S> spirit<S>7307</S> from the Lord<S>3068</S> troubled him<S>1204</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S>'s servants<S>5650</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>7451</S>, Behold now, an evil spirit<S>7307</S> from God<S>430</S> troubles you<S>1204</S>.


text:
Let our lord<S>113</S> now command<S>559</S> your servants<S>5650</S>, which are before<S>6440</S> you<S>1245</S>, to seek out a man<S>376</S>, who is a skillful<S>3045</S> player<S>5059</S> on a harp<S>3658</S>: and it shall come to pass<S>7451</S>, when the evil spirit<S>7307</S> from God<S>430</S> is upon you<S>5059</S>, that he shall play with his hand<S>3027</S>, and you shall be well<S>2895</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto his servants<S>5650</S>, Provide<S>7200</S> me now a man<S>376</S> that can play<S>5059</S> well<S>3190</S>, and bring him to me<S>935</S>.


text:
Then answered<S>6030</S> one<S>259</S> of the servants<S>5288</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Behold<S>7200</S>, I have seen a son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S> the Beth<S>1022</S>–lehemite, that is skillful<S>3045</S> in playing<S>5059</S>, and a mighty<S>1368</S> valiant man<S>2428</S>, and a man<S>376</S> of war<S>4421</S>, and prudent<S>995</S> in matters<S>1697</S>, and a comely<S>8389</S> person<S>376</S>, and the Lord is with him<S>3068</S>.


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> unto Jesse<S>3448</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Send<S>7971</S> me David<S>1732</S> your son<S>1121</S>, which is with the sheep<S>6629</S>.


text:
And Jesse<S>3448</S> took<S>3947</S> an donkey<S>2543</S> loaded with bread<S>3899</S>, and a bottle<S>4997</S> of wine<S>3196</S>, and a<S>259</S> kid<S>1423</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> them by<S>3027</S> David<S>1732</S> his son<S>1121</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> came<S>935</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> him<S>157</S>: and he loved him greatly<S>3966</S>; and he became his armor bearer<S>5375</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> sent<S>7971</S> to Jesse<S>3448</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Let David<S>1732</S>, I pray you<S>5975</S>, stand before<S>6440</S> me<S>4672</S>; for he has found favor<S>2580</S> in my sight<S>5869</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>7307</S>, when the evil spirit from God<S>430</S> was upon Saul<S>7586</S>, that David<S>1732</S> took<S>3947</S> an harp<S>3658</S>, and played<S>5059</S> with his hand<S>3027</S>: so Saul<S>7586</S> was refreshed<S>7304</S>, and was well<S>2895</S>, and the evil<S>7451</S> spirit<S>7307</S> departed from him<S>5493</S>.


text:
Now the Philistines<S>6430</S> gathered together<S>622</S> their armies<S>4264</S> to battle<S>4421</S>, and were gathered together<S>622</S> at Shochoh<S>7755</S>, which belongs to Judah<S>3063</S>, and pitched<S>2583</S> between Shochoh<S>7755</S> and Azekah<S>5825</S>, in Ephes<S>658</S>–dammim.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> and the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were gathered together<S>622</S>, and pitched<S>2583</S> by the valley<S>6010</S> of Elah<S>425</S>, and set the battle<S>4421</S> in array<S>6186</S> against<S>7125</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
And the Philistines<S>6430</S> stood<S>5975</S> on a mountain<S>2022</S> on the one side<S>3478</S>, and Israel stood<S>5975</S> on a mountain<S>2022</S> on the other side<S>1516</S>: and there was a valley between them.


text:
And there went out<S>3318</S> a champion<S>376</S> out of the camp<S>4264</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, named<S>8034</S> Goliath<S>1555</S>, of Gath<S>1661</S>, whose height<S>1363</S> was six<S>8337</S> cubits<S>520</S> and a span<S>2239</S>.


text:
And he had a helmet<S>3553</S> of brass<S>5178</S> upon his head<S>7218</S>, and he was armed<S>3847</S> with a coat<S>8302</S> of mail<S>7193</S>; and the weight<S>4948</S> of the coat<S>8302</S> was five<S>2568</S> thousand<S>505</S> shekels<S>8255</S> of brass<S>5178</S>.


text:
And he had shin armor<S>4697</S> of brass<S>5178</S> upon his legs<S>7272</S>, and a spear<S>3591</S> of brass<S>5178</S> between his shoulders<S>3802</S>.


text:
And the staff<S>6086</S> of his spear<S>2595</S> was like a weaver<S>707</S>'s log<S>4500</S>; and his spear<S>2595</S>'s head<S>3852</S> weighed six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> shekels<S>8255</S> of iron<S>1270</S>: and one bearing<S>5375</S> a shield<S>6793</S> went<S>1980</S> before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
And he stood<S>5975</S> and cried<S>7121</S> unto the armies<S>4634</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto them<S>3318</S>, Why are you come out to set your battle<S>4421</S> in array<S>6186</S>? am not I a Philistine<S>6430</S>, and you servants<S>5650</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>? choose<S>1262</S> you a man<S>376</S> for you<S>3381</S>, and let him come down to me.


text:
If he be able<S>3201</S> to fight<S>3898</S> with me<S>5221</S>, and to kill me<S>5650</S>, then will we be your servants: but if I prevail<S>3201</S> against him<S>5221</S>, and kill him<S>5650</S>, then shall you be our servants, and serve us<S>5647</S>.


text:
And the Philistine<S>6430</S> said<S>559</S>, I defy<S>2778</S> the armies<S>4634</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> this day<S>3117</S>; give<S>5414</S> me a man<S>376</S>, that we may fight<S>3898</S> together<S>3162</S>.


text:
When Saul<S>7586</S> and all Israel<S>3478</S> heard<S>8085</S> those words<S>1697</S> of the Philistine<S>6430</S>, they were dismayed<S>2865</S>, and greatly<S>3966</S> afraid<S>3372</S>.


text:
Now David<S>1732</S> was the son<S>1121</S> of that Ephrathite<S>376</S> of Beth<S>1035</S>–lehem–judah, whose name<S>8034</S> was Jesse<S>3448</S>; and he had eight<S>8083</S> sons<S>1121</S>: and the man<S>376</S> went<S>935</S> among men<S>582</S> for an old man<S>2204</S> in the days<S>3117</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>.


text:
And the three<S>7969</S> oldest<S>1419</S> sons<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S> went<S>3212</S> and followed<S>310</S> Saul<S>7586</S> to the battle<S>4421</S>: and the names<S>8034</S> of his three<S>7969</S> sons<S>1121</S> that went<S>1980</S> to the battle<S>4421</S> were Eliab<S>446</S> the firstborn<S>1060</S>, and next<S>4932</S> unto him Abinadab<S>41</S>, and the third<S>7992</S> Shammah<S>8048</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> was the youngest<S>6996</S>: and the three<S>7969</S> oldest<S>1419</S> followed<S>1980</S> Saul<S>7586</S>.


text:
But David<S>1732</S> went<S>1980</S> and returned<S>7725</S> from Saul<S>7586</S> to feed<S>7462</S> his father<S>1</S>'s sheep<S>6629</S> at Beth<S>1035</S>–lehem.


text:
And the Philistine<S>6430</S> drew near<S>5066</S> morning<S>7925</S> and evening<S>6150</S>, and presented<S>3320</S> himself forty<S>705</S> days<S>3117</S>.


text:
And Jesse<S>3448</S> said<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S> his son<S>1121</S>, Take<S>3947</S> now for your brothers<S>251</S> an ephah<S>374</S> of this<S>2088</S> parched<S>7039</S> corn<S>6235</S>, and these ten loaves<S>3899</S>, and run<S>7323</S> to the camp<S>4264</S> to your brothers<S>251</S>;


text:
And carry<S>935</S> these ten<S>6235</S> cheeses<S>2461</S> unto the captain<S>8269</S> of their thousand<S>505</S>, and look<S>6485</S> how your brothers<S>251</S> fare<S>7965</S>, and take<S>3947</S> their pledge<S>6161</S>.


text:
Now Saul<S>7586</S>, and they<S>376</S>, and all the men of Israel<S>3478</S>, were in the valley<S>6010</S> of Elah<S>425</S>, fighting<S>3898</S> with the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> rose up early<S>7925</S> in the morning<S>1242</S>, and left<S>5203</S> the sheep<S>6629</S> with a keeper<S>8104</S>, and took<S>5375</S>, and went<S>3212</S>, as Jesse<S>3448</S> had commanded<S>6680</S> him<S>935</S>; and he came to the trench<S>4570</S>, as the army<S>2428</S> was going forth<S>3318</S> to the fight<S>4634</S>, and shouted<S>7321</S> for the battle<S>4421</S>.


text:
For Israel<S>3478</S> and the Philistines<S>6430</S> had put the battle in array<S>6186</S>, army<S>4634</S> against<S>7125</S> army<S>4634</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> left<S>5203</S> his carriage<S>3627</S> in the hand<S>3027</S> of the keeper<S>8104</S> of the carriage<S>3627</S>, and ran<S>7323</S> into the army<S>4634</S>, and came<S>935</S> and saluted<S>7592</S> his brothers<S>251</S>.


text:
And as he talked<S>1696</S> with them<S>5927</S>, behold, there came up the champion<S>376</S>, the Philistine<S>6430</S> of Gath<S>1661</S>, Goliath<S>1555</S> by name<S>8034</S>, out of the armies<S>4634</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and spoke<S>1696</S> according to the same<S>428</S> words<S>1697</S>: and David<S>1732</S> heard them<S>8085</S>.


text:
And all the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, when they saw<S>7200</S> the man<S>376</S>, fled<S>5127</S> from him<S>6440</S>, and were very<S>3966</S> afraid<S>3372</S>.


text:
And the men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> said<S>559</S>, Have you seen<S>7200</S> this man<S>376</S> that is come up<S>5927</S>? surely to defy<S>2778</S> Israel<S>3478</S> is he come up<S>5927</S>: and it shall be<S>376</S>, that the man who kills<S>5221</S> him<S>4428</S>, the king will enrich<S>6238</S> him with great<S>1419</S> riches<S>6239</S>, and will give<S>5414</S> him his daughter<S>1323</S>, and make<S>6213</S> his father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S> free<S>2670</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> spoke<S>559</S> to the men<S>582</S> that stood<S>5975</S> by him<S>559</S>, saying, What shall be done<S>6213</S> to the man<S>376</S> that kills<S>5221</S> this<S>1975</S> Philistine<S>6430</S>, and takes away<S>5493</S> the reproach<S>2781</S> from Israel<S>3478</S>? for who is this uncircumcised<S>6189</S> Philistine<S>6430</S>, that he should defy<S>2778</S> the armies<S>4634</S> of the living<S>2416</S> God<S>430</S>?


text:
And the people<S>5971</S> answered<S>559</S> him after this manner<S>1697</S>, saying<S>559</S>, So shall it be done<S>6213</S> to the man<S>376</S> that kills him<S>5221</S>.


text:
And Eliab<S>446</S> his oldest<S>1419</S> brother<S>251</S> heard<S>8085</S> when he spoke<S>1696</S> unto the men<S>582</S>; and Eliab<S>446</S>'s anger<S>639</S> was kindled<S>2734</S> against David<S>1732</S>, and he said<S>559</S>, Why came you down<S>3381</S> here<S>5203</S>? and with whom have you left those<S>2007</S> few<S>4592</S> sheep<S>6629</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S>? I know<S>3045</S> your pride<S>2087</S>, and the naughtiness<S>7455</S> of your heart<S>3824</S>; for you are come down<S>3381</S> that you might see<S>7200</S> the battle<S>4421</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, What have I now done<S>6213</S>? Is there not a cause<S>1697</S>?


text:
And he turned<S>5437</S> from him<S>681</S> toward<S>4136</S> another<S>312</S>, and spoke<S>559</S> after the same manner<S>1697</S>: and the people<S>5971</S> answered<S>1697</S> him again<S>7725</S> after the former<S>7223</S> manner<S>1697</S>.


text:
And when the words<S>1697</S> were heard<S>8085</S> which David<S>1732</S> spoke<S>1696</S>, they rehearsed<S>5046</S> them before<S>6440</S> Saul<S>7586</S>: and he sent for him<S>3947</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, Let no man<S>120</S>'s heart<S>3820</S> fail<S>5307</S> because of him<S>5650</S>; your servant will go<S>3212</S> and fight<S>3898</S> with this Philistine<S>6430</S>.

And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, You are not able<S>3201</S> to go<S>3212</S> against this Philistine<S>6430</S> to fight<S>3898</S> with him<S>5288</S>: for you are but a youth, and he a man<S>376</S> of war<S>4421</S> from his youth<S>5271</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>, Your servant<S>5650</S> kept<S>7462</S> his father<S>1</S>'s sheep<S>6629</S>, and there came<S>935</S> a lion<S>738</S>, and a carry<S>1677</S>, and took<S>5375</S> a lamb<S>7716</S> out of the flock<S>5739</S>:


text:
And I went out<S>3318</S> after<S>310</S> him<S>5221</S>, and struck him<S>5337</S>, and delivered it out of his mouth<S>6310</S>: and when he arose<S>6965</S> against me<S>2388</S>, I caught him by his beard<S>2206</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> him<S>4191</S>, and killed him.


text:
Your servant<S>5650</S> killed<S>5221</S> both the lion<S>738</S> and the carry<S>1677</S>: and this uncircumcised<S>6189</S> Philistine<S>6430</S> shall be as one<S>259</S> of them<S>2778</S>, seeing he has defied the armies<S>4634</S> of the living<S>2416</S> God<S>430</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> moreover<S>3068</S>, The Lord that delivered<S>5337</S> me out of the paw<S>3027</S> of the lion<S>738</S>, and out of the paw<S>3027</S> of the carry<S>1677</S>, he will deliver<S>5337</S> me out of the hand<S>3027</S> of this Philistine<S>6430</S>. And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, and the Lord be with you<S>3068</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> armed<S>3847</S> David<S>1732</S> with his armour<S>4055</S>, and he put<S>5414</S> an helmet<S>6959</S> of brass<S>5178</S> upon his head<S>7218</S>; also he armed<S>3847</S> him with a coat of mail<S>8302</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> girded<S>2296</S> his sword<S>2719</S> upon his armour<S>4055</S>, and he tried<S>2974</S> to go<S>3212</S>; for he had not tested<S>5254</S> it<S>1732</S>. And David said<S>559</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>, I cannot<S>3201</S> go<S>3212</S> with these<S>5254</S>; for I have not tested them<S>1732</S>. And David put them off him<S>5493</S>.


text:
And he took<S>3947</S> his staff<S>4731</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>, and chose<S>977</S> him five<S>2568</S> smooth<S>2512</S> stones<S>68</S> out of the brook<S>5158</S>, and put<S>7760</S> them in a shepherd<S>7462</S>'s bag<S>3627</S> which he had<S>3219</S>, even in a food bag; and his sling<S>7050</S> was in his hand<S>3027</S>: and he drew near<S>5066</S> to the Philistine<S>6430</S>.


text:
And the Philistine<S>6430</S> came<S>3212</S> on<S>1980</S> and drew near<S>7131</S> unto David<S>1732</S>; and the man<S>376</S> that bore<S>5375</S> the shield<S>6793</S> went before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
And when the Philistine<S>6430</S> looked about<S>5027</S>, and saw<S>7200</S> David<S>1732</S>, he disdained<S>959</S> him<S>5288</S>: for he was but a youth, and ruddy<S>132</S>, and of a fair<S>3303</S> favor<S>4758</S>.


text:
And the Philistine<S>6430</S> said<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, Am I a dog<S>3611</S>, that you come<S>935</S> to me with poles<S>4731</S>? And the Philistine<S>6430</S> cursed<S>7043</S> David<S>1732</S> by his gods<S>430</S>.


text:
And the Philistine<S>6430</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, Come<S>3212</S> to me<S>5414</S>, and I will give your flesh<S>1320</S> unto the birds<S>5775</S> of the air<S>8064</S>, and to the animals<S>929</S> of the field<S>7704</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> David<S>1732</S> to the Philistine<S>6430</S>, You come<S>935</S> to me with a sword<S>2719</S>, and with a spear<S>2595</S>, and with a shield<S>3591</S>: but I come<S>935</S> to you in the name<S>8034</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> of hosts<S>6635</S>, the God<S>430</S> of the armies<S>4634</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, whom you have defied<S>2778</S>.


text:
This day<S>3117</S> will the Lord<S>3068</S> deliver<S>5462</S> you into my hand<S>3027</S>; and I will strike<S>5221</S> you<S>5493</S>, and take your head<S>7218</S> from you<S>5414</S>; and I will give the carcasses<S>6297</S> of the army<S>4264</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> this day<S>3117</S> unto the birds<S>5775</S> of the air<S>8064</S>, and to the wild animals<S>2416</S> of the earth<S>776</S>; that all the earth<S>776</S> may know<S>3045</S> that there is<S>3426</S> a God<S>430</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And all this assembly<S>6951</S> shall know<S>3045</S> that the Lord<S>3068</S> saves<S>3467</S> not with sword<S>2719</S> and spear<S>2595</S>: for the battle<S>4421</S> is the Lord<S>3068</S>'s, and he will give<S>5414</S> you into our hands<S>3027</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>6430</S>, when the Philistine arose<S>6965</S>, and came<S>3212</S> and drew near<S>7126</S> to meet<S>7125</S> David<S>1732</S>, that David<S>1732</S> hurried<S>4116</S>, and ran<S>7323</S> toward the army<S>4634</S> to meet<S>7125</S> the Philistine<S>6430</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> put<S>7971</S> his hand<S>3027</S> in his bag<S>3627</S>, and took<S>3947</S> there a stone<S>68</S>, and slung<S>7049</S> it<S>5221</S>, and struck the Philistine<S>6430</S> in his forehead<S>4696</S>, that the stone<S>68</S> sunk<S>2883</S> into his forehead<S>4696</S>; and he fell<S>5307</S> upon his face<S>6440</S> to the earth<S>776</S>.


text:
So David<S>1732</S> prevailed<S>2388</S> over<S>4480</S> the Philistine<S>6430</S> with a sling<S>7050</S> and with a stone<S>68</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> the Philistine<S>6430</S>, and killed<S>4191</S> him<S>2719</S>; but there was no sword in the hand<S>3027</S> of David<S>1732</S>.


text:
Therefore David<S>1732</S> ran<S>7323</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> upon the Philistine<S>6430</S>, and took<S>3947</S> his sword<S>2719</S>, and drew<S>8025</S> it out of the sheath<S>8593</S> there<S>4191</S>, and killed him<S>3772</S>, and cut off his head<S>7218</S> with it<S>6430</S>. And when the Philistines saw<S>7200</S> their champion<S>1368</S> was dead<S>4191</S>, they fled<S>5127</S>.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> and of Judah<S>3063</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and shouted<S>7321</S>, and pursued<S>7291</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>, until you come<S>935</S> to the valley<S>1516</S>, and to the gates<S>8179</S> of Ekron<S>6138</S>. And the wounded<S>2491</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> fell down<S>5307</S> by the way<S>1870</S> to Shaaraim<S>8189</S>, even unto Gath<S>1661</S>, and unto Ekron<S>6138</S>.


text:
And the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> returned<S>7725</S> from chasing<S>1814</S> after<S>310</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and they spoiled<S>8155</S> their tents<S>4264</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> took<S>3947</S> the head<S>7218</S> of the Philistine<S>6430</S>, and brought<S>935</S> it to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>; but he put<S>7760</S> his armor<S>3627</S> in his tent<S>168</S>.


text:
And when Saul<S>7586</S> saw<S>7200</S> David<S>1732</S> go forth<S>3318</S> against<S>7125</S> the Philistine<S>6430</S>, he said<S>559</S> unto Abner<S>74</S>, the captain<S>8269</S> of the army<S>6635</S>, Abner<S>74</S>, whose son<S>1121</S> is this youth<S>5288</S>? And Abner<S>74</S> said<S>559</S>, As your soul<S>5315</S> lives<S>2416</S>, O king<S>4428</S>, I cannot<S>518</S> tell<S>3045</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, Inquire<S>7592</S> you whose son<S>1121</S> the stripling is<S>5958</S>.


text:
And as David<S>1732</S> returned<S>7725</S> from the slaughter<S>5221</S> of the Philistine<S>6430</S>, Abner<S>74</S> took<S>3947</S> him<S>935</S>, and brought him before<S>6440</S> Saul<S>7586</S> with the head<S>7218</S> of the Philistine<S>6430</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to him<S>1121</S>, Whose son are you<S>5288</S>, you young man? And David<S>1732</S> answered<S>559</S>, I am the son<S>1121</S> of your servant<S>5650</S> Jesse<S>3448</S> the Beth<S>1022</S>–lehemite.


text:
And it came to pass<S>3615</S>, when he had made an end of speaking<S>1696</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>, that the soul<S>5315</S> of Jonathan<S>3083</S> was knit<S>7194</S> with the soul<S>5315</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and Jonathan<S>3083</S> loved<S>157</S> him as his own soul<S>5315</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> took<S>3947</S> him that day<S>3117</S>, and would let<S>5414</S> him go no more home<S>7725</S> to his father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S>.


text:
Then Jonathan<S>3083</S> and David<S>1732</S> made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S>, because he loved<S>160</S> him as his own soul<S>5315</S>.


text:
And Jonathan<S>3083</S> stripped<S>6584</S> himself of the robe<S>4598</S> that was upon him<S>5414</S>, and gave it to David<S>1732</S>, and his garments<S>4055</S>, even to his sword<S>2719</S>, and to his bow<S>7198</S>, and to his belt<S>2289</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> went out<S>3318</S> wherever Saul<S>7586</S> sent<S>7971</S> him<S>7919</S>, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul<S>7586</S> set<S>7760</S> him over the men<S>582</S> of war<S>4421</S>, and he was accepted<S>3190</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of all the people<S>5971</S>, and also in the sight<S>5869</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>'s servants<S>5650</S>.


text:
And it came to pass as they came<S>935</S>, when David<S>1732</S> was returned<S>7725</S> from the slaughter<S>5221</S> of the Philistine<S>6430</S>, that the women<S>802</S> came out<S>3318</S> of all cities<S>5892</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, singing<S>7891</S> and dancing<S>4246</S>, to meet<S>7125</S> king<S>4428</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, with tabrets<S>8596</S>, with joy<S>8057</S>, and with instruments of music<S>7991</S>.


text:
And the women<S>802</S> answered<S>6030</S> one another as they played<S>7832</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Saul<S>7586</S> has slain<S>5221</S> his thousands<S>505</S>, and David<S>1732</S> his ten thousands<S>7233</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> was very<S>3966</S> angry<S>2734</S>, and the saying<S>1697</S> displeased<S>3415</S> him<S>559</S>; and he said, They have ascribed<S>5414</S> unto David<S>1732</S> ten thousands<S>7233</S>, and to me they have ascribed<S>5414</S> but thousands<S>505</S>: and what can he have more but the kingdom<S>4410</S>?


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> eyed<S>5770</S> David<S>1732</S> from that day<S>3117</S> and forward<S>1973</S>.


text:
And it came to pass on the next day<S>4283</S>, that the evil<S>7451</S> spirit<S>7307</S> from God<S>430</S> came<S>6743</S> upon Saul<S>7586</S>, and he prophesied<S>5012</S> in the middle<S>8432</S> of the house<S>1004</S>: and David<S>1732</S> played<S>5059</S> with his hand<S>3027</S>, as at other times<S>3117</S>: and there was a javelin<S>2595</S> in Saul<S>7586</S>'s hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> cast<S>2904</S> the javelin<S>2595</S>; for he said<S>559</S>, I will strike<S>5221</S> David<S>1732</S> even to the wall<S>7023</S> with it<S>1732</S>. And David escaped from<S>5437</S> his presence<S>6440</S> twice<S>6471</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> was afraid<S>3372</S> of<S>6440</S> David<S>1732</S>, because the Lord<S>3068</S> was with him<S>5493</S>, and had departed from Saul<S>7586</S>.


text:
Therefore Saul<S>7586</S> removed<S>5493</S> him from him<S>7760</S>, and made him his captain<S>8269</S> over a thousand<S>505</S>; and he went out<S>3318</S> and came in<S>935</S> before<S>6440</S> the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> behaved himself wisely<S>7919</S> in all his ways<S>1870</S>; and the Lord was with him<S>3068</S>.


text:
Why when Saul<S>7586</S> saw<S>7200</S> that he behaved<S>7919</S> himself very<S>3966</S> wisely<S>7919</S>, he was afraid<S>1481</S> of him<S>6440</S>.


text:
But all Israel<S>3478</S> and Judah<S>3063</S> loved<S>157</S> David<S>1732</S>, because he went out<S>3318</S> and came in<S>935</S> before them<S>6440</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, Behold my elder<S>1419</S> daughter<S>1323</S> Merab<S>4764</S>, her will I give<S>5414</S> you to wife<S>802</S>: only be you valiant<S>1121</S> for me<S>3898</S>, and fight the Lord<S>3068</S>'s battles<S>4421</S>. For Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, Let not my hand<S>3027</S> be upon him<S>3027</S>, but let the hand of the Philistines be upon him<S>6430</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>, Who am I<S>2416</S>? and what is my life, or my father<S>1</S>'s family<S>4940</S> in Israel<S>3478</S>, that I should be son in law<S>2860</S> to the king<S>4428</S>?


text:
But it came to pass at the time<S>6256</S> when Merab<S>4764</S> Saul<S>7586</S>'s daughter<S>1323</S> should have been given<S>5414</S> to David<S>1732</S>, that she was given<S>5414</S> unto Adriel<S>5741</S> the Meholathite<S>4259</S> to wife<S>802</S>.


text:
And Michal<S>4324</S> Saul<S>7586</S>'s daughter<S>1323</S> loved<S>157</S> David<S>1732</S>: and they told<S>5046</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, and the thing<S>1697</S> pleased him<S>3474</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, I will give<S>5414</S> him her<S>4170</S>, that she may be a snare to him<S>3027</S>, and that the hand of the Philistines<S>6430</S> may be against him<S>7586</S>. Why Saul said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, You shall this day<S>3117</S> be my son in law<S>2859</S> in the one of the two<S>8147</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> commanded<S>6680</S> his servants<S>5650</S>, saying<S>1696</S>, Commune with David<S>1732</S> secretly<S>3909</S>, and say<S>559</S>, Behold<S>4428</S>, the king has delight<S>2654</S> in you<S>5650</S>, and all his servants love<S>157</S> you<S>4428</S>: now therefore be the king's son in law<S>2859</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S>'s servants<S>5650</S> spoke<S>1696</S> those words<S>1697</S> in the ears<S>241</S> of David<S>1732</S>. And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, Seems<S>5869</S> it to you a light<S>7043</S> thing to be a king<S>4428</S>'s son in law<S>2859</S>, seeing that I am a poor<S>7326</S> man<S>376</S>, and lightly esteemed<S>7034</S>?


text:
And the servants<S>5650</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> told<S>5046</S> him<S>559</S>, saying, On this manner<S>1697</S> spoke<S>1696</S> David<S>1732</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, Thus shall you say<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, The king<S>4428</S> desires<S>2656</S> not any dowry<S>4119</S>, but a hundred<S>3967</S> foreskins<S>6190</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, to be avenged<S>5358</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s enemies<S>341</S>. But Saul<S>7586</S> thought<S>2803</S> to make David<S>1732</S> fall<S>5307</S> by the hand<S>3027</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
And when his servants<S>5650</S> told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S> these words<S>1697</S>, it pleased<S>1697</S> David<S>1732</S> well to be the king<S>4428</S>'s son in law<S>2859</S>: and the days<S>3117</S> were not expired<S>4390</S>.

Why David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S> and went<S>3212</S>, he and his men<S>582</S>, and killed<S>5221</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> two hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>; and David<S>1732</S> brought<S>935</S> their foreskins<S>6190</S>, and they gave them in full number<S>4390</S> to the king<S>4428</S>, that he might be the king<S>4428</S>'s son in law<S>2859</S>. And Saul<S>7586</S> gave<S>5414</S> him Michal<S>4324</S> his daughter<S>1323</S> to wife<S>802</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> saw<S>7200</S> and knew<S>3045</S> that the Lord<S>3068</S> was with David<S>1732</S>, and that Michal<S>4324</S> Saul<S>7586</S>'s daughter<S>1323</S> loved him<S>157</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> was yet the more<S>3254</S> afraid<S>3372</S> of<S>6440</S> David<S>1732</S>; and Saul<S>7586</S> became David<S>1732</S>'s enemy<S>341</S> continually<S>3117</S>.


text:
Then the princes<S>8269</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> went forth<S>3318</S>: and it came to pass<S>1767</S>, after they went forth<S>3318</S>, that David<S>1732</S> behaved himself more wisely<S>7919</S> than all the servants<S>5650</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>; so that his name<S>8034</S> was much<S>3966</S> set by<S>3365</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> spoke<S>1696</S> to Jonathan<S>3129</S> his son<S>1121</S>, and to all his servants<S>5650</S>, that they should kill<S>4191</S> David<S>1732</S>.


text:
But Jonathan<S>3083</S> Saul<S>7586</S>'s son<S>1121</S> delighted<S>2654</S> much<S>3966</S> in David<S>1732</S>: and Jonathan<S>3083</S> told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Saul<S>7586</S> my father<S>1</S> seeks<S>1245</S> to kill<S>4191</S> you<S>8104</S>: now therefore, I pray you, take care to yourself until the morning<S>1242</S>, and stay<S>3427</S> in a secret<S>5643</S> place<S>2244</S>, and hide yourself:


text:
And I will go out<S>3318</S> and stand<S>5975</S> beside<S>3027</S> my father<S>1</S> in the field<S>7704</S> where you are<S>1696</S>, and I will talk with my father<S>1</S> about you<S>4100</S>; and what I see<S>7200</S>, that I will tell you<S>5046</S>.


text:
And Jonathan<S>3083</S> spoke<S>1696</S> good<S>2896</S> of David<S>1732</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S> his father<S>1</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>4428</S>, Let not the king sin<S>2398</S> against his servant<S>5650</S>, against David<S>1732</S>; because he has not sinned<S>2398</S> against you<S>4639</S>, and because his works have been toward you very<S>3966</S> good<S>2896</S>:


text:
For he did put<S>7760</S> his life<S>5315</S> in his hand<S>3709</S>, and killed<S>5221</S> the Philistine<S>6430</S>, and the Lord<S>3068</S> worked<S>6213</S> a great<S>1419</S> salvation<S>8668</S> for all Israel<S>3478</S>: you saw<S>7200</S> it<S>8055</S>, and did rejoice: why then will you sin<S>2398</S> against innocent<S>5355</S> blood<S>1818</S>, to kill<S>4191</S> David<S>1732</S> without a cause<S>2600</S>?


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> listened<S>8085</S> unto the voice<S>6963</S> of Jonathan<S>3083</S>: and Saul<S>7586</S> swore<S>7650</S>, As the Lord<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, he shall not<S>518</S> be slain<S>4191</S>.


text:
And Jonathan<S>3083</S> called<S>7121</S> David<S>1732</S>, and Jonathan<S>3083</S> showed<S>5046</S> him all those things<S>1697</S>. And Jonathan<S>3083</S> brought<S>935</S> David<S>1732</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, and he was in his presence<S>6440</S>, as in times past<S>865</S>.


text:
And there was war<S>4421</S> again<S>3254</S>: and David<S>1732</S> went out<S>3318</S>, and fought<S>3898</S> with the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and killed<S>5221</S> them with a great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4347</S>; and they fled<S>5127</S> from him<S>6440</S>.


text:
And the evil<S>7451</S> spirit<S>7307</S> from the Lord<S>3068</S> was upon Saul<S>7586</S>, as he sat<S>3427</S> in his house<S>1004</S> with his javelin<S>2595</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>: and David<S>1732</S> played<S>5059</S> with his hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> sought<S>1245</S> to strike<S>5221</S> David<S>1732</S> even to the wall<S>7023</S> with the javelin<S>2595</S>; but he slipped away<S>6362</S> out of Saul<S>7586</S>'s presence<S>6440</S>, and he struck<S>5221</S> the javelin<S>2595</S> into the wall<S>7023</S>: and David<S>1732</S> fled<S>5127</S>, and escaped<S>4422</S> that night<S>3915</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> also sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> unto David<S>1732</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, to watch<S>8104</S> him<S>4191</S>, and to kill him in the morning<S>1242</S>: and Michal<S>4324</S> David<S>1732</S>'s wife<S>802</S> told<S>5046</S> him<S>559</S>, saying, If you save<S>4422</S> not your life<S>5315</S> to night<S>3915</S>, to morrow<S>4279</S> you shall be slain<S>4191</S>.


text:
So Michal<S>4324</S> let<S>3381</S> David<S>1732</S> down<S>3381</S> through a window<S>2474</S>: and he went<S>3212</S>, and fled<S>1272</S>, and escaped<S>4422</S>.


text:
And Michal<S>4324</S> took<S>3947</S> an image<S>8655</S>, and laid<S>7760</S> it in the bed<S>4296</S>, and put<S>7760</S> a pillow<S>3523</S> of goats<S>5795</S>' hair for his head piece<S>4763</S>, and covered<S>3680</S> it with a cloth<S>899</S>.


text:
And when Saul<S>7586</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to take<S>3947</S> David<S>1732</S>, she said<S>559</S>, He is sick<S>2470</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> sent<S>7971</S> the messengers<S>4397</S> again to see<S>7200</S> David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Bring him up<S>5927</S> to me in the bed<S>4296</S>, that I may kill him<S>4191</S>.


text:
And when the messengers<S>4397</S> were come in<S>935</S>, behold<S>8655</S>, there was an image in the bed<S>4296</S>, with a pillow<S>3523</S> of goats<S>5795</S>' hair for his head<S>4763</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto Michal<S>4324</S>, Why have you deceived me so<S>7411</S>, and sent away<S>7971</S> my enemy<S>341</S>, that he is escaped<S>4422</S>? And Michal<S>4324</S> answered<S>559</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, He said<S>559</S> unto me<S>7971</S>, Let me go; why should I kill you<S>4191</S>?


text:
So David<S>1732</S> fled<S>1272</S>, and escaped<S>4422</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Samuel<S>8050</S> to Ramah<S>7414</S>, and told<S>5046</S> him all that Saul<S>7586</S> had done<S>6213</S> to him<S>8050</S>. And he and Samuel went<S>3212</S> and lived<S>3427</S> in Naioth<S>5121</S>.


text:
And it was told<S>5046</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Behold<S>1732</S>, David is at Naioth<S>5121</S> in Ramah<S>7414</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> to take<S>3947</S> David<S>1732</S>: and when they saw<S>7200</S> the company<S>3862</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S> prophesying<S>5012</S>, and Samuel<S>8050</S> standing<S>5975</S> as appointed<S>5324</S> over them<S>7307</S>, the Spirit of God<S>430</S> was upon the messengers<S>4397</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, and they also prophesied<S>5012</S>.


text:
And when it was told<S>5046</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, he sent<S>7971</S> other<S>312</S> messengers<S>4397</S>, and they prophesied<S>5012</S> likewise<S>7586</S>. And Saul sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> again<S>3254</S> the third<S>7992</S> time<S>5012</S>, and they prophesied also.


text:
Then went<S>3212</S> he also to Ramah<S>7414</S>, and came<S>935</S> to a great<S>1419</S> well<S>953</S> that is in Sechu<S>7906</S>: and he asked<S>7592</S> and said<S>559</S>, Where<S>375</S> are Samuel<S>8050</S> and David<S>1732</S>? And one said<S>559</S>, Behold<S>5121</S>, they be at Naioth in Ramah<S>7414</S>.


text:
And he went<S>3212</S> there to Naioth<S>5121</S> in Ramah<S>7414</S>: and the Spirit<S>7307</S> of God<S>430</S> was upon him also<S>3212</S>, and he went on<S>1980</S>, and prophesied<S>5012</S>, until he came<S>935</S> to Naioth<S>5121</S> in Ramah<S>7414</S>.


text:
And he stripped off<S>6584</S> his clothes<S>899</S> also<S>1571</S>, and prophesied<S>5012</S> before<S>6440</S> Samuel<S>8050</S> in like manner<S>5307</S>, and lay down naked<S>6174</S> all that day<S>3117</S> and all that night<S>3915</S>. That is why they say<S>559</S>, Is Saul<S>7586</S> also among the prophets<S>5030</S>?


text:
And Hannah<S>2584</S> prayed<S>6419</S>, and said<S>559</S>, My heart<S>3820</S> rejoices<S>5970</S> in the Lord<S>3068</S>, my horn<S>7161</S> is exalted<S>7311</S> in the Lord<S>3068</S>: my mouth<S>6310</S> is enlarged<S>7337</S> over my enemies<S>341</S>; because I rejoice<S>8055</S> in your salvation<S>3444</S>.


text:
There is none holy<S>6918</S> as the Lord<S>3068</S>: for there is none beside<S>1115</S> you<S>6697</S>: neither is there any rock like our God<S>430</S>.


text:
Talk<S>1696</S> no more<S>7235</S> so exceedingly<S>1364</S> proudly<S>1364</S>; let not arrogance<S>6277</S> come<S>3318</S> out of your mouth<S>6310</S>: for the Lord<S>3068</S> is a God<S>410</S> of knowledge<S>1844</S>, and by him actions<S>5949</S> are weighed<S>8505</S>.


text:
The bows<S>7198</S> of the mighty men<S>1368</S> are broken<S>2844</S>, and they that stumbled<S>3782</S> are girded<S>247</S> with strength<S>2428</S>.


text:
They that were full<S>7649</S> have hired out<S>7936</S> themselves for bread<S>3899</S>; and they that were hungry<S>7457</S> are full<S>2308</S>: so that the childless<S>6135</S> has born<S>3205</S> seven<S>7651</S>; and she that has many<S>7227</S> sons<S>1121</S> is now feeble<S>535</S>.


text:
The Lord<S>3068</S> kills<S>4191</S>, and makes alive<S>2421</S>: he brings down<S>3381</S> to the grave<S>7585</S>, and brings up<S>5927</S>.


text:
The Lord<S>3068</S> makes poor<S>3423</S>, and makes rich<S>6238</S>: he brings low<S>8213</S>, and<S>637</S> lifts up<S>7311</S>.


text:
He raises up<S>6965</S> the poor<S>1800</S> out of the dust<S>6083</S>, and lifts up<S>7311</S> the beggar<S>34</S> from the dunghill<S>830</S>, to set<S>3427</S> them among princes<S>5081</S>, and to make them inherit<S>5157</S> the throne<S>3678</S> of glory<S>3519</S>: for the pillars<S>4690</S> of the earth<S>776</S> are the Lord<S>3068</S>'s, and he has set<S>7896</S> the world upon them<S>8398</S>.


text:
He will keep<S>8104</S> the feet<S>7272</S> of his saints<S>2623</S>, and the wicked<S>7563</S> shall be silent<S>1826</S> in darkness<S>2822</S>; for by strength<S>3581</S> shall no man<S>376</S> prevail<S>1396</S>.


text:
The adversaries<S>7378</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> shall be broken to pieces<S>2865</S>; out of heaven<S>8064</S> shall he thunder<S>7481</S> upon them<S>3068</S>: the Lord shall judge<S>1777</S> the ends<S>657</S> of the earth<S>776</S>; and he shall give<S>5414</S> strength<S>5797</S> unto his king<S>4428</S>, and exalt<S>7311</S> the horn<S>7161</S> of his anointed<S>4899</S>.


text:
And Elkanah<S>511</S> went<S>3212</S> to Ramah<S>7414</S> to his house<S>1004</S>. And the child<S>5288</S> did<S>1961</S> minister<S>8334</S> unto the Lord<S>3068</S> before<S>6440</S> Eli<S>5941</S> the priest<S>3548</S>.


text:
Now the sons<S>1121</S> of Eli<S>5941</S> were sons<S>1121</S> of Belial<S>1100</S>; they knew<S>3045</S> not the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the priests<S>3548</S>' custom<S>4941</S> with the people<S>5971</S> was<S>376</S>, that, when any man offered<S>2076</S> sacrifice<S>2077</S>, the priest<S>3548</S>'s servant<S>5288</S> came<S>935</S>, while the flesh<S>1320</S> was in seething<S>1310</S>, with a fleshhook<S>4207</S> of three<S>7969</S> teeth<S>8127</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>;


text:
And he struck<S>5221</S> it into the pan<S>3595</S>, or kettle<S>1731</S>, or caldron<S>7037</S>, or pot<S>6517</S>; all that the fleshhook<S>4207</S> brought up<S>5927</S> the priest<S>3548</S> took<S>3947</S> for himself<S>6213</S>. So they did in Shiloh<S>7887</S> unto all the Israelites<S>3478</S> that came there<S>935</S>.


text:
Also before they burnt<S>6999</S> the fat<S>2459</S>, the priest<S>3548</S>'s servant<S>5288</S> came<S>935</S>, and said<S>559</S> to the man<S>376</S> that sacrificed<S>2076</S>, Give<S>5414</S> flesh<S>1320</S> to roast<S>6740</S> for the priest<S>3548</S>; for he will not have<S>3947</S> boiled<S>1310</S> flesh<S>1320</S> of you<S>2416</S>, but raw.


text:
And if any man<S>376</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>6999</S>, Let them not fail to burn<S>6999</S> the fat<S>2459</S> presently<S>3117</S>, and then take<S>3947</S> as much as your soul<S>5315</S> desires<S>183</S>; then he would answer<S>559</S> him<S>5414</S>, No; but you shall give it me now<S>3947</S>: and if not, I will take it by force<S>2394</S>.


text:
And the sin<S>2403</S> of the young men<S>5288</S> was very<S>3966</S> great<S>1419</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>: for men<S>582</S> abhorred<S>5006</S> the offering<S>4503</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
But Samuel<S>8050</S> ministered<S>8334</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, being a child<S>5288</S>, girded<S>2296</S> with a linen<S>906</S> ephod<S>646</S>.


text:
Moreover his mother<S>517</S> made<S>6213</S> him a little<S>6996</S> coat<S>4598</S>, and brought<S>5927</S> it to him from year<S>3117</S> to year<S>3117</S>, when she came up<S>5927</S> with her husband<S>376</S> to offer<S>2076</S> the yearly<S>3117</S> sacrifice<S>2077</S>.


text:
And Eli<S>5941</S> blessed<S>1288</S> Elkanah<S>511</S> and his wife<S>802</S>, and said<S>559</S>, The Lord<S>3068</S> give<S>7760</S> you seed<S>2233</S> of this woman<S>802</S> for the loan<S>7596</S> which is lent<S>7592</S> to the Lord<S>3068</S>. And they went<S>1980</S> unto their own home<S>4725</S>.


text:
And<S>3588</S> the Lord<S>3068</S> visited<S>6485</S> Hannah<S>2584</S>, so that she conceived<S>2029</S>, and bore<S>3205</S> three<S>7969</S> sons<S>1121</S> and two<S>8147</S> daughters<S>1323</S>. And the child<S>5288</S> Samuel<S>8050</S> grew<S>1431</S> before<S>5973</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
Now Eli<S>5941</S> was very<S>3966</S> old<S>2204</S>, and heard<S>8085</S> all that his sons<S>1121</S> did<S>6213</S> unto all Israel<S>3478</S>; and how they lay<S>7901</S> with the women<S>802</S> that assembled<S>6633</S> at the door<S>6607</S> of the tabernacle<S>168</S> of the congregation<S>4150</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto them<S>6213</S>, Why do you such things<S>1697</S>? for I hear<S>8085</S> of your evil<S>7451</S> dealings<S>1697</S> by all this people<S>5971</S>.


text:
No<S>1121</S>, my sons; for it is no good<S>2896</S> report<S>8052</S> that I hear<S>8085</S>: you make the Lord<S>3068</S>'s people<S>5971</S> to transgress<S>5674</S>.


text:
If one man<S>376</S> sin<S>2398</S> against another<S>376</S>, the judge<S>430</S> shall judge<S>6419</S> him<S>376</S>: but if a man sin<S>2398</S> against the Lord<S>3068</S>, who shall entreat<S>6419</S> for him<S>8085</S>? Nevertheless they listened not unto the voice<S>6963</S> of their father<S>1</S>, because the Lord<S>3068</S> decided to<S>2654</S> kill them<S>4191</S>.


text:
And the child<S>5288</S> Samuel<S>8050</S> grew<S>1432</S> on<S>1980</S>, and was in favor<S>2896</S> both with the Lord<S>3068</S>, and also with men<S>582</S>.

And there came<S>935</S> a man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S> unto Eli<S>5941</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>559</S>, Thus says the Lord<S>3068</S>, Did I plainly<S>1540</S> appear<S>1540</S> unto the house<S>1004</S> of your father<S>1</S>, when they were in Egypt<S>4714</S> in Pharaoh<S>6547</S>'s house<S>1004</S>?


text:
And did I choose<S>977</S> him out of all the tribes<S>7626</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> to be my priest<S>3548</S>, to offer<S>5927</S> upon my altar<S>4196</S>, to burn<S>6999</S> incense<S>7004</S>, to wear<S>5375</S> an ephod<S>646</S> before<S>6440</S> me<S>5414</S>? and did I give unto the house<S>1004</S> of your father<S>1</S> all the offerings made by fire<S>801</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>?


text:
Why kick<S>1163</S> you at my sacrifice<S>2077</S> and at my offering<S>4503</S>, which I have commanded<S>6680</S> in my habitation<S>4583</S>; and honor<S>3513</S> your sons<S>1121</S> above me<S>1254</S>, to make yourselves fat with the best<S>7225</S> of all the offerings<S>4503</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> my people<S>5971</S>?


text:
Why the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> says<S>5002</S>, I said<S>559</S> indeed<S>559</S> that your house<S>1004</S>, and the house<S>1004</S> of your father<S>1</S>, should walk<S>1980</S> before<S>6440</S> me for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>: but now the Lord<S>3068</S> says<S>5002</S>, Be it far from me<S>2486</S>; for them that honor<S>3513</S> me I will honor<S>3513</S>, and they that despise<S>959</S> me shall be lightly esteemed<S>7043</S>.


text:
Behold<S>3117</S>, the days come<S>935</S>, that I will cut off<S>1438</S> your arm<S>2220</S>, and the arm<S>2220</S> of your father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, that there shall not be an old man<S>2205</S> in your house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And you shall see<S>5027</S> an enemy<S>6862</S> in my habitation<S>4583</S>, in all the wealth which God shall give<S>3190</S> Israel<S>3478</S>: and there shall not be an old man<S>2205</S> in your house<S>1004</S> for ever<S>3117</S>.


text:
And the man<S>376</S> of your<S>3772</S>, whom I shall not cut off from my altar<S>4196</S>, shall be to consume<S>3615</S> your eyes<S>5869</S>, and to grieve<S>109</S> your heart<S>5315</S>: and all the increase<S>4768</S> of your house<S>1004</S> shall die<S>4191</S> in the flower of their age<S>582</S>.


text:
And this shall be a sign<S>226</S> unto you<S>935</S>, that shall come upon your two<S>8147</S> sons<S>1121</S>, on Hophni<S>2652</S> and Phinehas<S>6372</S>; in one<S>259</S> day<S>3117</S> they shall die<S>4191</S> both of them<S>8147</S>.


text:
And I will raise me up<S>6965</S> a faithful<S>539</S> priest<S>3548</S>, that shall do<S>6213</S> according to that which is in my heart<S>3824</S> and in my mind<S>5315</S>: and I will build<S>1129</S> him a sure<S>539</S> house<S>1004</S>; and he shall walk<S>1980</S> before<S>6440</S> my anointed<S>4899</S> for ever<S>3117</S>.


text:
And it shall come to pass<S>3498</S>, that every one that is left in your house<S>1004</S> shall come<S>935</S> and bow down<S>7812</S> to him for a piece<S>95</S> of silver<S>3701</S> and a morsel<S>3603</S> of bread<S>3899</S>, and shall say<S>559</S>, Put<S>5596</S> me<S>259</S>, I pray you, into one of the priests<S>3550</S>' offices, that I may eat<S>398</S> a piece<S>6595</S> of bread<S>3899</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> fled<S>1272</S> from Naioth<S>5121</S> in Ramah<S>7414</S>, and came<S>935</S> and said<S>559</S> before<S>6440</S> Jonathan<S>3083</S>, What have I done<S>6213</S>? what is my iniquity<S>5771</S>? and what is my sin<S>2403</S> before<S>6440</S> your father<S>1</S>, that he seeks<S>1245</S> my life<S>5315</S>?


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto him<S>2486</S>, God forbid; you shall not die<S>4191</S>: behold<S>1</S>, my father will do<S>6213</S> nothing<S>1697</S> either great<S>1419</S> or small<S>6996</S>, but that he will show<S>1540</S> it me<S>1</S>: and why should my father hide<S>5641</S> this thing from me<S>1697</S>? it is not so.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> swore<S>7650</S> moreover<S>559</S>, and said, Your father<S>1</S> certainly<S>3045</S> knows<S>3045</S> that I have found<S>4672</S> grace<S>2580</S> in your eyes<S>5869</S>; and he says<S>559</S>, Let not Jonathan<S>3083</S> know<S>3045</S> this<S>6087</S>, lest he be grieved: but truly<S>199</S> as the Lord<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, and as your soul<S>5315</S> lives<S>2416</S>, there is but a step<S>6587</S> between me and death<S>4194</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Jonathan<S>3083</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, Whatever your soul<S>5315</S> desires<S>559</S>, I will even do it for you<S>6213</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto Jonathan<S>3083</S>, Behold<S>4279</S>, to morrow is the new moon<S>2320</S>, and I should not fail<S>3427</S> to sit<S>3427</S> with the king<S>4428</S> at food<S>398</S>: but let me go<S>7971</S>, that I may hide<S>5641</S> myself in the field<S>7704</S> unto the third<S>7992</S> day at even<S>6153</S>.


text:
If your father<S>1</S> at all<S>6485</S> miss<S>6485</S> me<S>559</S>, then say, David<S>1732</S> earnestly<S>7592</S> asked<S>7592</S> leave of me that he might run<S>7323</S> to Beth<S>1035</S>–lehem his city<S>5892</S>: for there is a yearly<S>3117</S> sacrifice<S>2077</S> there for all the family<S>4940</S>.


text:
If he say<S>559</S> thus<S>2896</S>, It is well; your servant<S>5650</S> shall have peace<S>7965</S>: but if he be very<S>2734</S> angry<S>2734</S>, then be sure<S>3045</S> that evil<S>7451</S> is determined by him<S>3615</S>.


text:
Therefore you shall deal<S>6213</S> kindly<S>2617</S> with your servant<S>5650</S>; for you have brought<S>935</S> your servant<S>5650</S> into a covenant<S>1285</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> with you<S>3426</S>: nevertheless, if there be in me iniquity<S>5771</S>, kill<S>4191</S> me yourself<S>935</S>; for why should you bring me to your father<S>1</S>?


text:
And Jonathan<S>3083</S> said<S>559</S>, Far be it from you<S>2486</S>: for if I knew<S>3045</S> certainly<S>3045</S> that evil<S>7451</S> were determined<S>3615</S> by my father<S>1</S> to come<S>935</S> upon you<S>5046</S>, then would not I tell it you?


text:
Then said<S>559</S> David<S>1732</S> to Jonathan<S>3083</S>, Who shall tell<S>5046</S> me<S>1</S>? or what if your father answer<S>6030</S> you roughly<S>7186</S>?


text:
And Jonathan<S>3083</S> said<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, Come<S>3212</S>, and let us go out<S>3318</S> into the field<S>7704</S>. And they went out<S>3318</S> both<S>8147</S> of them into the field<S>7704</S>.


text:
And Jonathan<S>3083</S> said<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, O Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, when I have sounded<S>2713</S> my father<S>1</S> about to morrow<S>4279</S> any time<S>6256</S>, or the third<S>7992</S> day<S>2895</S>, and, behold, if there be good toward David<S>1732</S>, and I then send<S>7971</S> not unto you<S>1540</S>, and show it you;


text:
The Lord<S>3068</S> do<S>6213</S> so<S>3541</S> and much more<S>3254</S> to Jonathan<S>3083</S>: but if it please<S>3190</S> my father<S>1</S> to do you evil<S>7451</S>, then I will show<S>1540</S> it you<S>7971</S>, and send you away, that you may go<S>1980</S> in peace<S>7965</S>: and the Lord<S>3068</S> be with you<S>1</S>, as he has been with my father.


text:
And you shall not only while yet<S>518</S> I live<S>2416</S> show<S>6213</S> me the kindness<S>2617</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, that I die not<S>4191</S>:


text:
But also you shall not cut off<S>3772</S> your kindness<S>2617</S> from my house<S>1004</S> for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>: no<S>3068</S>, not when the Lord has cut off<S>3772</S> the enemies<S>341</S> of David<S>1732</S> every one<S>376</S> from the face<S>6440</S> of the earth<S>127</S>.


text:
So Jonathan<S>3083</S> made<S>3772</S> a covenant with the house<S>1004</S> of David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>3068</S>, Let the Lord even require<S>1245</S> it at the hand<S>3027</S> of David<S>1732</S>'s enemies<S>341</S>.


text:
And Jonathan<S>3083</S> caused David<S>1732</S> to swear<S>7650</S> again<S>3254</S>, because he loved<S>160</S> him<S>157</S>: for he loved him as he loved<S>160</S> his own soul<S>5315</S>.


text:
Then Jonathan<S>3083</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, To morrow<S>4279</S> is the new moon<S>2320</S>: and you shall be missed<S>6485</S>, because your seat<S>4186</S> will be empty<S>6485</S>.


text:
And when you have stayed three days<S>8027</S>, then you shall go down<S>3381</S> quickly<S>3966</S>, and come<S>935</S> to the place<S>4725</S> where you did hide<S>5641</S> yourself when<S>3117</S> the business<S>4639</S> was in hand<S>3427</S>, and shall remain by<S>681</S> the stone<S>68</S> Ezel<S>237</S>.


text:
And I will shoot<S>3384</S> three<S>7969</S> arrows<S>2671</S> on the side<S>6654</S> there<S>7971</S>, as though I shot at a mark<S>4307</S>.


text:
And<S>7971</S>, behold, I will send a lad<S>5288</S>, saying<S>3212</S>, Go, find out<S>4672</S> the arrows<S>2671</S>. If I expressly<S>559</S> say<S>559</S> unto the lad<S>5288</S>, Behold<S>2671</S>, the arrows are on this side of you<S>3947</S>, take them<S>935</S>; then come you<S>7965</S>: for there is peace to you<S>1697</S>, and no hurt; as the Lord<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>.


text:
But if I say<S>559</S> thus unto the young man<S>5958</S>, Behold<S>2671</S>, the arrows are beyond<S>1973</S> you<S>3212</S>; go your way: for the Lord<S>3068</S> has sent you away<S>7971</S>.


text:
And as touching the matter<S>1697</S> which you and I have spoken<S>1696</S> of<S>3068</S>, behold, the Lord be between you and me for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>.


text:
So David<S>1732</S> hid<S>5641</S> himself in the field<S>7704</S>: and when the new moon<S>2320</S> was come<S>4428</S>, the king sat him down<S>3427</S> to eat<S>398</S> food<S>3899</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> sat<S>3427</S> upon his seat<S>4186</S>, as at other times<S>6471</S>, even upon a seat<S>4186</S> by the wall<S>7023</S>: and Jonathan<S>3083</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and Abner<S>74</S> sat<S>3427</S> by Saul<S>7586</S>'s side<S>6654</S>, and David<S>1732</S>'s place<S>4725</S> was empty<S>6485</S>.


text:
Nevertheless Saul<S>7586</S> spoke<S>1696</S> not any thing<S>3972</S> that day<S>3117</S>: for he thought<S>559</S>, Something has happened<S>4745</S> him<S>1115</S>, he is not clean<S>2889</S>; surely he is not clean<S>2889</S>.


text:
And it came to pass on the morrow<S>4283</S>, which was the second<S>8145</S> day of the month<S>2320</S>, that David<S>1732</S>'s place<S>4725</S> was empty<S>6485</S>: and Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto Jonathan<S>3083</S> his son<S>1121</S>, Therefore comes<S>935</S> not the son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S> to food<S>3899</S>, neither yesterday<S>8543</S>, nor to day<S>3117</S>?


text:
And Jonathan<S>3083</S> answered<S>6030</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, David<S>1732</S> earnestly<S>7592</S> asked<S>7592</S> leave of me<S>5978</S> to go to Beth<S>1035</S>–lehem:


text:
And he said<S>559</S>, Let me go<S>7971</S>, I pray you<S>4940</S>; for our family has a sacrifice<S>2077</S> in the city<S>5892</S>; and my brother<S>251</S>, he has commanded<S>6680</S> me to be there<S>4672</S>: and now, if I have found favor<S>2580</S> in your eyes<S>5869</S>, let me get away<S>4422</S>, I pray you<S>7200</S>, and see my brothers<S>251</S>. Therefore he comes<S>935</S> not unto the king<S>4428</S>'s table<S>7979</S>.


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S>'s anger<S>639</S> was kindled<S>2734</S> against Jonathan<S>3083</S>, and he said<S>559</S> unto him<S>1121</S>, You son of the perverse<S>5753</S> rebellious<S>4780</S> woman<S>3045</S>, do not I know that you have chosen<S>977</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S> to your own confusion<S>1322</S>, and unto the confusion<S>1322</S> of your mother<S>517</S>'s nakedness<S>6172</S>?


text:
For as long as<S>3117</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S> lives<S>2425</S> upon the ground<S>127</S>, you shall not be established<S>3559</S>, nor your kingdom<S>4438</S>. Therefore now send<S>7971</S> and fetch<S>3947</S> him unto me<S>1121</S>, for he shall surely die.


text:
And Jonathan<S>3083</S> answered<S>6030</S> Saul<S>7586</S> his father<S>1</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>4191</S>, Therefore shall he be slain? what has he done<S>6213</S>?


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> cast<S>2904</S> a javelin<S>2595</S> at him to strike<S>5221</S> him<S>3083</S>: by which Jonathan knew<S>3045</S> that it was determined<S>3617</S> of his father<S>1</S> to kill<S>4191</S> David<S>1732</S>.


text:
So Jonathan<S>3083</S> arose<S>6965</S> from the table<S>7979</S> in fierce<S>2750</S> anger<S>639</S>, and did eat<S>398</S> no food<S>3899</S> the second<S>8145</S> day<S>3117</S> of the month<S>2320</S>: for he was grieved<S>6087</S> for David<S>1732</S>, because his father<S>1</S> had done him shame<S>3637</S>.


text:
And it came to pass in the morning<S>1242</S>, that Jonathan<S>3083</S> went out<S>3318</S> into the field<S>7704</S> at the time appointed<S>4150</S> with David<S>1732</S>, and a little<S>6996</S> lad with him<S>5288</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto his lad<S>5288</S>, Run<S>7323</S>, find out<S>4672</S> now the arrows<S>2671</S> which I shoot<S>3384</S>. And as the lad<S>5288</S> ran<S>7323</S>, he shot<S>3384</S> a arrow<S>2678</S> beyond him<S>5674</S>.


text:
And when the lad<S>5288</S> was come<S>935</S> to the place<S>4725</S> of the arrow<S>2678</S> which Jonathan<S>3083</S> had shot<S>3384</S>, Jonathan<S>3083</S> cried<S>7121</S> after<S>310</S> the lad<S>5288</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Is not the arrow<S>2678</S> beyond you<S>1973</S>?


text:
And Jonathan<S>3083</S> cried<S>7121</S> after<S>310</S> the lad<S>5288</S>, Make speed<S>4120</S>, haste<S>2363</S>, stay<S>5975</S> not<S>3083</S>. And Jonathan's lad<S>5288</S> gathered up<S>3950</S> the arrows<S>2671</S>, and came<S>935</S> to his master<S>113</S>.


text:
But the lad<S>5288</S> knew<S>3045</S> not any thing<S>3972</S>: only Jonathan<S>3083</S> and David<S>1732</S> knew<S>3045</S> the matter<S>1697</S>.


text:
And Jonathan<S>3083</S> gave<S>5414</S> his artillery<S>3627</S> unto his lad<S>5288</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3212</S>, Go, carry<S>935</S> them to the city<S>5892</S>.


text:
And as soon as the lad<S>5288</S> was gone<S>935</S>, David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S> out of a place toward<S>681</S> the south<S>5045</S>, and fell<S>5307</S> on his face<S>639</S> to the ground<S>776</S>, and bowed<S>7812</S> himself three<S>7969</S> times<S>6471</S>: and they kissed<S>5401</S> one<S>376</S> another<S>7453</S>, and wept<S>1058</S> one<S>376</S> with another<S>7453</S>, until David<S>1732</S> exceeded<S>1431</S>.


text:
And Jonathan<S>3083</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, Go<S>3212</S> in peace<S>7965</S>, forasmuch as we have sworn<S>7650</S> both<S>8147</S> of us in the name<S>8034</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, The Lord<S>3068</S> be between me and you<S>2233</S>, and between my seed and your seed<S>2233</S> for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>. And he arose<S>6965</S> and departed<S>3212</S>: and Jonathan<S>3083</S> went<S>935</S> into the city<S>5892</S>.


text:
Then came<S>935</S> David<S>1732</S> to Nob<S>5011</S> to Ahimelech<S>288</S> the priest<S>3548</S>: and Ahimelech<S>288</S> was afraid<S>2729</S> at the meeting<S>7125</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>376</S>, Why are you alone, and no man with you?

And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto Ahimelech<S>288</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, The king<S>4428</S> has commanded<S>6680</S> me a business<S>1697</S>, and has said<S>559</S> unto me<S>376</S>, Let no man know<S>3045</S> any thing<S>3972</S> of the business<S>1697</S> whereabout I send<S>7971</S> you<S>6680</S>, and what I have commanded you<S>3045</S>: and I have appointed my servants<S>5288</S> to such<S>6423</S> and such<S>492</S> a place<S>4725</S>.


text:
Now therefore what is<S>3426</S> under your hand<S>3027</S>? give<S>5414</S> me five<S>2568</S> loaves of bread<S>3899</S> in my hand<S>3027</S>, or what there is present<S>4672</S>.


text:
And the priest<S>3548</S> answered<S>6030</S> David<S>1732</S>, and said<S>559</S>, There is no common<S>2455</S> bread<S>3899</S> under my hand<S>3027</S>, but there is<S>3426</S> hallowed<S>6944</S> bread<S>3899</S>; if the young men<S>5288</S> have kept<S>8104</S> themselves at least<S>389</S> from women<S>802</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> answered<S>6030</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto him<S>518</S>, Of a truth women<S>802</S> have been kept<S>6113</S> from us about these three<S>8032</S> days<S>8543</S>, since I came out<S>3318</S>, and the vessels<S>3627</S> of the young men<S>5288</S> are holy<S>6944</S>, and the bread is in a manner<S>1870</S> common<S>2455</S>, Yes<S>6942</S>, though it were sanctified this day<S>3117</S> in the vessel<S>3627</S>.


text:
So the priest<S>3548</S> gave<S>5414</S> him hallowed<S>6944</S> bread<S>3899</S>: for there was no bread there but the showbread<S>3899</S>, that was taken<S>5493</S> from before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>, to put<S>7760</S> hot<S>2527</S> bread<S>3899</S> in the day<S>3117</S> when it was taken away<S>3947</S>.


text:
Now a certain man<S>376</S> of the servants<S>5650</S> of Saul<S>7586</S> was there that day<S>3117</S>, detained<S>6113</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>; and his name<S>8034</S> was Doeg<S>1673</S>, an Edomite<S>130</S>, the chiefest<S>47</S> of the herdsmen<S>7462</S> that belonged to Saul<S>7586</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto Ahimelech<S>288</S>, And is there<S>3426</S> not<S>371</S> here under your hand<S>3027</S> spear<S>2595</S> or sword<S>2719</S>? for I have neither brought<S>3947</S> my sword<S>2719</S> nor my weapons<S>3627</S> with me<S>3027</S>, because the king<S>4428</S>'s business<S>1697</S> required<S>1961</S> hurry<S>5169</S>.


text:
And the priest<S>3548</S> said<S>559</S>, The sword<S>2719</S> of Goliath<S>1555</S> the Philistine<S>6430</S>, whom you slewest<S>5221</S> in the valley<S>6010</S> of Elah<S>425</S>, behold<S>3874</S>, it is here wrapped in a cloth<S>8071</S> behind<S>310</S> the ephod<S>646</S>: if you will take<S>3947</S> that<S>3947</S>, take it<S>312</S>: for there is no other save<S>2108</S> that here<S>2088</S>. And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, There is none like that<S>5414</S>; give it me.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and fled<S>1272</S> that day<S>3117</S> for fear<S>6440</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, and went<S>935</S> to Achish<S>397</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Gath<S>1661</S>.


text:
And the servants<S>5650</S> of Achish<S>397</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>1732</S>, Is not this David the king<S>4428</S> of the land<S>776</S>? did they not sing<S>6030</S> one to another of him<S>2088</S> in dances<S>4246</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Saul<S>7586</S> has slain<S>5221</S> his thousands<S>505</S>, and David<S>1732</S> his ten thousands<S>7233</S>?


text:
And David<S>1732</S> laid up<S>7760</S> these words<S>1697</S> in his heart<S>3824</S>, and was very<S>3966</S> afraid<S>3372</S> of<S>6440</S> Achish<S>397</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Gath<S>1661</S>.


text:
And he changed<S>8138</S> his behavior<S>2940</S> before<S>5869</S> them<S>1984</S>, and feigned himself mad in their hands<S>3027</S>, and scrabbled<S>8427</S> on the doors<S>1817</S> of the gate<S>8179</S>, and let his spittle<S>7388</S> fall down<S>3381</S> upon his beard<S>2206</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Achish<S>397</S> unto his servants<S>5650</S>, Behold<S>7200</S>, you see the man<S>376</S> is mad<S>7696</S>: why then have you brought him to me<S>935</S>?


text:
Have I need<S>2638</S> of mad men<S>7696</S>, that you have brought<S>935</S> this fellow to play the mad man<S>7696</S> in my presence<S>935</S>? shall this fellow come into my house<S>1004</S>?


text:
David<S>1732</S> therefore departed<S>3212</S> there<S>4422</S>, and escaped to the cave<S>4631</S> Adullam<S>5725</S>: and when his brothers<S>251</S> and all his father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S> heard<S>8085</S> it<S>3381</S>, they went down there to him.


text:
And every one<S>376</S> that was in distress<S>4689</S>, and every one<S>376</S> that was in debt<S>5378</S>, and every one<S>376</S> that was discontented<S>4751</S>, gathered<S>6908</S> themselves unto him<S>8269</S>; and he became a captain over them<S>702</S>: and there were with him about four hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> went<S>3212</S> there to Mizpeh<S>4708</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>: and he said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>, Let my father<S>1</S> and my mother<S>517</S>, I pray you<S>3318</S>, come forth, and be with you<S>3045</S>, until I know what God<S>430</S> will do for me<S>6213</S>.


text:
And he brought<S>5148</S> them before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Moab<S>4124</S>: and they lived<S>3427</S> with him all the while<S>3117</S> that David<S>1732</S> was in the hold<S>4686</S>.


text:
And the prophet<S>5030</S> Gad<S>1410</S> said<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, Stay<S>3427</S> not in the hold<S>4686</S>; depart<S>3212</S>, and get<S>935</S> you into the land<S>776</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>. Then David<S>1732</S> departed<S>3212</S>, and came<S>935</S> into the forest<S>3293</S> of Hareth<S>2802</S>.


text:
When Saul<S>7586</S> heard<S>8085</S> that David<S>1732</S> was discovered<S>3045</S>, and the men<S>582</S> that were with him<S>7586</S>, (now Saul lived<S>3427</S> in Gibeah<S>1390</S> under a tree<S>815</S> in Ramah<S>7414</S>, having his spear<S>2595</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>, and all his servants<S>5650</S> were standing about him<S>5324</S>;)


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto his servants<S>5650</S> that stood<S>5324</S> about him<S>8085</S>, Hear now, you Benjamites<S>1145</S>; will the son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S> give<S>5414</S> every one of you fields<S>7704</S> and vineyards<S>3754</S>, and make<S>7760</S> you all captains<S>8269</S> of thousands<S>505</S>, and captains<S>8269</S> of hundreds<S>3967</S>;


text:
That all of you have conspired<S>7194</S> against me<S>1540</S>, and there is none that showed me that my son<S>1121</S> has made a covenant<S>3772</S> with the son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S>, and there is none of you that is sorry<S>2470</S> for me<S>1540</S>, or showed unto me that my son<S>1121</S> has stirred up<S>6965</S> my servant<S>5650</S> against me<S>693</S>, to lie in wait, as at this day<S>3117</S>?


text:
Then answered<S>6030</S> Doeg<S>1673</S> the Edomite<S>130</S>, which was set<S>5324</S> over the servants<S>5650</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>, and said<S>559</S>, I saw<S>7200</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S> coming<S>935</S> to Nob<S>5011</S>, to Ahimelech<S>288</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahitub<S>285</S>.


text:
And he inquired<S>7592</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> for him<S>5414</S>, and gave him food<S>6720</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> him the sword<S>2719</S> of Goliath<S>1555</S> the Philistine<S>6430</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> sent<S>7971</S> to call<S>7121</S> Ahimelech<S>288</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Ahitub<S>285</S>, and all his father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, the priests<S>3548</S> that were in Nob<S>5011</S>: and they came<S>935</S> all of them to the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, Hear<S>8085</S> now<S>1121</S>, you son of Ahitub<S>285</S>. And he answered<S>559</S>, Here I am<S>113</S>, my lord.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>7194</S>, Why have you conspired against me<S>1121</S>, you and the son of Jesse<S>3448</S>, in that you have given<S>5414</S> him bread<S>3899</S>, and a sword<S>2719</S>, and have inquired<S>7592</S> of God<S>430</S> for him<S>6965</S>, that he should rise against me<S>693</S>, to lie in wait, as at this day<S>3117</S>?


text:
Then Ahimelech<S>288</S> answered<S>6030</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and said<S>559</S>, And who is so faithful<S>539</S> among all your servants<S>5650</S> as David<S>1732</S>, which is the king<S>4428</S>'s son in law<S>2860</S>, and goes<S>5493</S> at your bidding<S>4928</S>, and is honorable<S>3513</S> in your house<S>1004</S>?


text:
Did I then<S>3117</S> begin<S>2490</S> to inquire<S>7592</S> of God<S>430</S> for him<S>2486</S>? be it far from me: let not the king<S>4428</S> impute<S>7760</S> any thing<S>1697</S> unto his servant<S>5650</S>, nor to all the house<S>1004</S> of my father<S>1</S>: for your servant<S>5650</S> knew<S>3045</S> nothing<S>1697</S> of all this<S>6996</S>, less or more<S>1419</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, You shall surely<S>4191</S> die<S>4191</S>, Ahimelech<S>288</S>, you<S>1</S>, and all your father's house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto the footmen<S>7323</S> that stood<S>5324</S> about him<S>5437</S>, Turn, and kill<S>4191</S> the priests<S>3548</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>; because their hand<S>3027</S> also is with David<S>1732</S>, and because they knew<S>3045</S> when he fled<S>1272</S>, and did not show<S>1540</S> it to me<S>5650</S>. But the servants of the king<S>4428</S> would<S>14</S> not put forth<S>7971</S> their hand<S>3027</S> to fall<S>6293</S> upon the priests<S>3548</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to Doeg<S>1673</S>, Turn<S>5437</S> you<S>6293</S>, and fall upon the priests<S>3548</S>. And Doeg<S>1673</S> the Edomite<S>130</S> turned<S>5437</S>, and he fell<S>6293</S> upon the priests<S>3548</S>, and killed<S>4191</S> on that day<S>3117</S> eighty<S>8084</S> and five<S>2568</S> persons<S>376</S> that did wear<S>5375</S> a linen<S>906</S> ephod<S>646</S>.


text:
And Nob<S>5011</S>, the city<S>5892</S> of the priests<S>3548</S>, struck<S>5221</S> he with the edge<S>6310</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>, both men<S>376</S> and women<S>802</S>, sons<S>5768</S> and sucklings<S>3243</S>, and oxen<S>7794</S>, and donkeys<S>2543</S>, and sheep<S>7716</S>, with the edge<S>6310</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
And one<S>259</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Ahimelech<S>288</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ahitub<S>285</S>, named<S>8034</S> Abiathar<S>54</S>, escaped<S>4422</S>, and fled<S>1272</S> after<S>310</S> David<S>1732</S>.


text:
And Abiathar<S>54</S> showed<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S> that Saul<S>7586</S> had slain<S>2026</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>'s priests<S>3548</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto Abiathar<S>54</S>, I knew<S>3045</S> it that day<S>3117</S>, when Doeg<S>1673</S> the Edomite<S>130</S> was there<S>5046</S>, that he would surely tell<S>5046</S> Saul<S>7586</S>: I have occasioned<S>5437</S> the death of all the persons<S>5315</S> of your father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S>.


text:
Stay<S>3427</S> you with me<S>3372</S>, fear not<S>1245</S>: for he that seeks my life<S>5315</S> seeks<S>1245</S> your life<S>5315</S>: but with me you shall be in safeguard<S>4931</S>.


text:
Then they told<S>5046</S> David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Behold<S>6430</S>, the Philistines fight<S>3898</S> against Keilah<S>7084</S>, and they rob<S>8154</S> the threshingfloors<S>1637</S>.


text:
Therefore David<S>1732</S> inquired<S>7592</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Shall I go<S>3212</S> and strike<S>5221</S> these Philistines<S>6430</S>? And the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, and strike<S>5221</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and save<S>3467</S> Keilah<S>7084</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S>'s men<S>582</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3373</S>, Behold, we be afraid here in Judah<S>3063</S>: how much more then if we come<S>3212</S> to Keilah<S>7084</S> against the armies<S>4634</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>?


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> inquired<S>7592</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S> yet again<S>3254</S>. And the Lord<S>3068</S> answered<S>6030</S> him and said<S>559</S>, Arise<S>6965</S>, go down<S>3381</S> to Keilah<S>7084</S>; for I will deliver<S>5414</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S> into your hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
So David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> went<S>3212</S> to Keilah<S>7084</S>, and fought<S>3898</S> with the Philistines<S>6430</S>, and brought away<S>5090</S> their cattle<S>4735</S>, and struck<S>5221</S> them with a great<S>1419</S> slaughter<S>4347</S>. So David<S>1732</S> saved<S>3467</S> the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Keilah<S>7084</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>54</S>, when Abiathar the son<S>1121</S> of Ahimelech<S>288</S> fled<S>1272</S> to David<S>1732</S> to Keilah<S>7084</S>, that he came down<S>3381</S> with an ephod<S>646</S> in his hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And it was told<S>5046</S> Saul<S>7586</S> that David<S>1732</S> was come<S>935</S> to Keilah<S>7084</S>. And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, God<S>430</S> has delivered<S>5234</S> him into my hand<S>3027</S>; for he is shut in<S>5462</S>, by entering<S>935</S> into a town<S>5892</S> that has gates<S>1817</S> and bars<S>1280</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> called<S>8085</S> all the people<S>5971</S> together<S>8085</S> to war<S>4421</S>, to go down<S>3381</S> to Keilah<S>7084</S>, to besiege<S>6696</S> David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> knew<S>3045</S> that Saul<S>7586</S> secretly practised<S>2790</S> mischief<S>7451</S> against him<S>559</S>; and he said to Abiathar<S>54</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, Bring here<S>5066</S> the ephod<S>646</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> David<S>1732</S>, O Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, your servant<S>5650</S> has certainly<S>8085</S> heard<S>8085</S> that Saul<S>7586</S> seeks<S>1245</S> to come<S>935</S> to Keilah<S>7084</S>, to destroy<S>7843</S> the city for my sake<S>5892</S>.


text:
Will the men<S>1167</S> of Keilah<S>7084</S> deliver me up<S>5462</S> into his hand<S>3027</S>? will Saul<S>7586</S> come down<S>3381</S>, as your servant<S>5650</S> has heard<S>8085</S>? O Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, I beg you<S>5046</S>, tell your servant<S>5650</S>. And the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S>, He will come down<S>3381</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> David<S>1732</S>, Will the men<S>1167</S> of Keilah<S>7084</S> deliver<S>5462</S> me and my men<S>582</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>? And the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S>, They will deliver you up<S>5462</S>.

Then David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S>, which were about six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S>, arose<S>6965</S> and departed<S>3318</S> out of Keilah<S>7084</S>, and went<S>1980</S> wherever<S>834</S> they could go<S>1980</S>. And it was told<S>5046</S> Saul<S>7586</S> that David<S>1732</S> was escaped<S>4422</S> from Keilah<S>7084</S>; and he forbare<S>2308</S> to go forth<S>3318</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> lived<S>3427</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S> in strong holds<S>4679</S>, and remained<S>3427</S> in a mountain<S>2022</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Ziph<S>2128</S>. And Saul<S>7586</S> sought<S>1245</S> him every day<S>3117</S>, but God<S>430</S> delivered<S>5414</S> him not into his hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> saw<S>7200</S> that Saul<S>7586</S> was come out<S>3318</S> to seek<S>1245</S> his life<S>5315</S>: and David<S>1732</S> was in the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Ziph<S>2128</S> in a wood<S>2793</S>.


text:
And Jonathan<S>3083</S> Saul<S>7586</S>'s son<S>1121</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to David<S>1732</S> into the wood<S>2793</S>, and strengthened<S>2388</S> his hand<S>3027</S> in God<S>430</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3372</S>, Fear not<S>3027</S>: for the hand of Saul<S>7586</S> my father<S>1</S> shall not find<S>4672</S> you<S>4427</S>; and you shall be king over Israel<S>3478</S>, and I shall be next<S>4932</S> unto you<S>7586</S>; and that also Saul my father<S>1</S> knows<S>3045</S>.


text:
And they two<S>8147</S> made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>: and David<S>1732</S> lived<S>3427</S> in the wood<S>2793</S>, and Jonathan<S>3083</S> went<S>1980</S> to his house<S>1004</S>.


text:
Then came up<S>5927</S> the Ziphites<S>2130</S> to Saul<S>7586</S> to Gibeah<S>1390</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Does not David<S>1732</S> hide<S>5641</S> himself with us in strong holds<S>4679</S> in the wood<S>2793</S>, in the hill<S>1389</S> of Hachilah<S>2444</S>, which is on the south<S>3225</S> of Jeshimon<S>3452</S>?


text:
Now therefore<S>4428</S>, O king, come down<S>3381</S> according to all the desire<S>185</S> of your soul<S>5315</S> to come down<S>3381</S>; and our part shall be to deliver<S>5462</S> him into the king<S>4428</S>'s hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, Blessed<S>1288</S> be you of the Lord<S>3068</S>; for you have compassion on me<S>2550</S>.


text:
Go<S>3212</S>, I pray you<S>3559</S>, prepare yet<S>3045</S>, and know and see<S>7200</S> his place<S>4725</S> where his haunt<S>7272</S> is<S>7200</S>, and who has seen him there<S>559</S>: for it is told me that he deals very<S>6191</S> subtly<S>6191</S>.


text:
See<S>7200</S> therefore<S>3045</S>, and take knowledge of all the lurking places<S>4224</S> where he hides<S>2244</S> himself<S>7725</S>, and come you again to me with the certainty<S>3559</S>, and I will go<S>1980</S> with you<S>3426</S>: and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land<S>776</S>, that I will search<S>2664</S> him out throughout all the thousands<S>505</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
And they arose<S>6965</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to Ziph<S>2128</S> before<S>6440</S> Saul<S>7586</S>: but David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> were in the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Maon<S>4584</S>, in the plain<S>6160</S> on the south<S>3225</S> of Jeshimon<S>3452</S>.


text:
Saul<S>7586</S> also and his men<S>582</S> went<S>3212</S> to seek<S>1245</S> him<S>5046</S>. And they told David<S>1732</S>: why he came down<S>3381</S> into a rock<S>5553</S>, and lived<S>3427</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Maon<S>4584</S>. And when Saul<S>7586</S> heard<S>8085</S> that<S>7291</S>, he pursued after<S>310</S> David<S>1732</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Maon<S>4584</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> went<S>3212</S> on this side<S>6654</S> of the mountain<S>2022</S>, and David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> on that side<S>6654</S> of the mountain<S>2022</S>: and David<S>1732</S> made hurry<S>2648</S> to get away<S>3212</S> for fear<S>6440</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>; for Saul<S>7586</S> and his men<S>582</S> surrounded<S>5849</S> David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> round about<S>5849</S> to take them<S>8610</S>.


text:
But there came<S>935</S> a messenger<S>4397</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Hurry<S>4116</S> you<S>3212</S>, and come; for the Philistines<S>6430</S> have invaded<S>6584</S> the land<S>776</S>.


text:
That is why Saul<S>7586</S> returned<S>7725</S> from pursuing<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> David<S>1732</S>, and went<S>3212</S> against<S>7125</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>: therefore they called<S>7121</S> that place<S>4725</S> Sela<S>5555</S>–hammahlekoth.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> went up<S>5927</S> from there<S>3427</S>, and lived in strong holds<S>4679</S> at En<S>5872</S>–gedi.


text:
And it came to pass<S>7586</S>, when Saul was returned<S>7725</S> from following<S>310</S> the Philistines<S>6430</S>, that it was told<S>5046</S> him<S>559</S>, saying, Behold<S>1732</S>, David is in the wilderness<S>4057</S> of En<S>5872</S>–gedi.


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S> took<S>3947</S> three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> chosen<S>977</S> men<S>376</S> out of all Israel<S>3478</S>, and went<S>3212</S> to seek<S>1245</S> David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> upon<S>6440</S> the rocks<S>6697</S> of the wild goats<S>3277</S>.


text:
And he came<S>935</S> to the sheepfold<S>1448</S> by the way<S>1870</S>, where was a cave<S>4631</S>; and Saul<S>7586</S> went in<S>935</S> to cover<S>5526</S> his feet<S>7272</S>: and David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> remained<S>3427</S> in the sides<S>3411</S> of the cave<S>4631</S>.


text:
And the men<S>582</S> of David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3117</S>, Behold the day of which the Lord<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto you<S>5414</S>, Behold, I will deliver your enemy<S>341</S> into your hand<S>3027</S>, that you may do<S>6213</S> to him as it shall seem good<S>3190</S> unto you<S>5869</S>. Then David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and cut off<S>3772</S> the skirt<S>3671</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>'s robe<S>4598</S> privately<S>3909</S>.


text:
And it came to pass afterward<S>310</S>, that David<S>1732</S>'s heart<S>3820</S> struck<S>5221</S> him<S>3772</S>, because he had cut off Saul<S>7586</S>'s skirt<S>3671</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto his men<S>582</S>, The Lord<S>3068</S> forbid<S>2486</S> that I should do<S>6213</S> this thing<S>1697</S> unto my master<S>113</S>, the Lord<S>3068</S>'s anointed<S>4899</S>, to stretch forth<S>7971</S> my hand<S>3027</S> against him<S>4899</S>, seeing he is the anointed of the Lord<S>3068</S>.


text:
So David<S>1732</S> stayed<S>8156</S> his servants<S>582</S> with these words<S>1697</S>, and allowed<S>5414</S> them not to rise<S>6965</S> against Saul<S>7586</S>. But Saul<S>7586</S> rose up<S>6965</S> out of the cave<S>4631</S>, and went<S>3212</S> on his way<S>1870</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> also arose<S>6965</S> afterward<S>3318</S>, and went out of the cave<S>4631</S>, and cried<S>7121</S> after<S>310</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, saying<S>559</S>, My lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>. And when Saul<S>7586</S> looked<S>5027</S> behind<S>310</S> him<S>1732</S>, David stooped<S>6915</S> with his face<S>639</S> to the earth<S>776</S>, and bowed himself<S>7812</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, Why hear<S>8085</S> you men<S>120</S>'s words<S>1697</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Behold<S>1732</S>, David seeks<S>1245</S> your hurt<S>7451</S>?


text:
Behold<S>3117</S>, this day your eyes<S>5869</S> have seen<S>7200</S> how that the Lord<S>3068</S> had delivered<S>5414</S> you to day<S>3117</S> into my hand<S>3027</S> in the cave<S>4631</S>: and some told<S>559</S> me to kill<S>2026</S> you<S>2347</S>: but my eye spared you<S>559</S>; and I said, I will not put forth<S>7971</S> my hand<S>3027</S> against my lord<S>113</S>; for he is the Lord<S>3068</S>'s anointed<S>4899</S>.


text:
Moreover<S>1</S>, my father, see<S>7200</S>, Yes<S>7200</S>, see the skirt<S>3671</S> of your robe<S>4598</S> in my hand<S>3027</S>: for in that I cut off<S>3772</S> the skirt<S>3671</S> of your robe<S>4598</S>, and killed<S>2026</S> you not<S>3045</S>, know you and see<S>7200</S> that there is neither evil<S>7451</S> nor transgression<S>6588</S> in my hand<S>3027</S>, and I have not sinned<S>2398</S> against you<S>6658</S>; yet you hunt my soul<S>5315</S> to take it<S>3947</S>.


text:
The Lord<S>3068</S> judge<S>8199</S> between me and you<S>3068</S>, and the Lord avenge<S>5358</S> me of you<S>3027</S>: but my hand shall not be upon you.


text:
As says<S>559</S> the proverb<S>4912</S> of the ancients<S>6931</S>, Wickedness<S>7562</S> proceeds<S>3318</S> from the wicked<S>7563</S>: but my hand shall not be upon you<S>3027</S>.


text:
After<S>310</S> whom is the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> come out<S>3318</S>? after<S>310</S> whom do you pursue<S>7291</S>? after<S>310</S> a dead<S>4191</S> dog<S>3611</S>, after<S>310</S> a<S>259</S> flea<S>6550</S>.


text:
The Lord<S>3068</S> therefore be judge<S>1781</S>, and judge<S>8199</S> between me and you<S>7200</S>, and see, and plead<S>7378</S> my cause<S>7379</S>, and deliver<S>8199</S> me out of your hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>1732</S>, when David had made an end<S>3615</S> of speaking<S>1696</S> these words<S>1697</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>, that Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S>, Is this your voice<S>6963</S>, my son<S>1121</S> David<S>1732</S>? And Saul<S>7586</S> lifted up<S>5375</S> his voice<S>6963</S>, and wept<S>1058</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, You are more righteous<S>6662</S> than I<S>1580</S>: for you have rewarded me good<S>2896</S>, whereas I have rewarded<S>1580</S> you evil<S>7451</S>.


text:
And you have shown<S>5046</S> this day<S>3117</S> how that you have dealt<S>6213</S> well<S>2896</S> with me<S>3068</S>: forasmuch as when the Lord had delivered<S>5462</S> me into your hand<S>3027</S>, you killed me not<S>2026</S>.


text:
For if a man<S>376</S> find<S>4672</S> his enemy<S>341</S>, will he let him go<S>7971</S> well<S>2896</S> away<S>1870</S>? Therefore the Lord<S>3068</S> reward<S>7999</S> you good<S>2896</S> for that you have done<S>6213</S> unto me this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And now<S>3045</S>, behold, I know well that you shall surely<S>4427</S> be king<S>4427</S>, and that the kingdom<S>4467</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> shall be established<S>6965</S> in your hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
Swear<S>7650</S> now therefore unto me by the Lord<S>3068</S>, that you will not<S>518</S> cut off<S>3772</S> my seed<S>2233</S> after<S>310</S> me<S>8045</S>, and that you will not destroy my name<S>8034</S> out of my father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> swore<S>7650</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>. And Saul<S>7586</S> went<S>3212</S> home<S>1004</S>; but David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> went up<S>5927</S> unto the hold<S>4686</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> died<S>4191</S>; and all the Israelites<S>3478</S> were gathered together<S>6908</S>, and lamented<S>5594</S> him<S>6912</S>, and buried him in his house<S>1004</S> at Ramah<S>7414</S>. And David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and went down<S>3381</S> to the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Paran<S>6290</S>.


text:
And there was a man<S>376</S> in Maon<S>4584</S>, whose possessions<S>4639</S> were in Carmel<S>3760</S>; and the man<S>376</S> was very<S>3966</S> great<S>1419</S>, and he had three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> sheep<S>6629</S>, and a thousand<S>505</S> goats<S>5795</S>: and he was shearing<S>1494</S> his sheep<S>6629</S> in Carmel<S>3760</S>.


text:
Now the name<S>8034</S> of the man<S>376</S> was Nabal<S>5037</S>; and the name<S>8034</S> of his wife<S>802</S> Abigail<S>26</S>: and she was a woman<S>802</S> of good<S>2896</S> understanding<S>7922</S>, and of a beautiful<S>3303</S> face<S>8389</S>: but the man<S>376</S> was churlish<S>7186</S> and evil<S>7451</S> in his doings<S>4611</S>; and he was of the house of Caleb<S>3614</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> heard<S>8085</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S> that Nabal<S>5037</S> did shear<S>1494</S> his sheep<S>6629</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> sent out<S>7971</S> ten<S>6235</S> young men<S>5288</S>, and David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto the young men<S>5288</S>, Get you up<S>5927</S> to Carmel<S>3760</S>, and go<S>935</S> to Nabal<S>5037</S>, and greet<S>7592</S> him in my name<S>8034</S>:


text:
And thus shall you say<S>559</S> to him that lives<S>2416</S> in prosperity<S>7965</S>, Peace be both to you<S>7965</S>, and peace be to your house<S>1004</S>, and peace be unto all that you have<S>7965</S>.


text:
And now I have heard<S>8085</S> that you have shearers<S>1494</S>: now your shepherds<S>7462</S> which were with us<S>3637</S>, we hurt them not<S>3972</S>, neither was there anything missing<S>6485</S> unto them<S>3117</S>, all the while they were in Carmel<S>3760</S>.


text:
Ask<S>7592</S> your young men<S>5288</S>, and they will show<S>5046</S> you<S>5288</S>. Why let the young men find<S>4672</S> favor<S>2580</S> in your eyes<S>5869</S>: for we come<S>935</S> in a good<S>2896</S> day<S>3117</S>: give<S>5414</S>, I pray you<S>4672</S>, whatever comes to your hand<S>3027</S> unto your servants<S>5650</S>, and to your son<S>1121</S> David<S>1732</S>.


text:
And when David<S>1732</S>'s young men<S>5288</S> came<S>935</S>, they spoke<S>1696</S> to Nabal<S>5037</S> according to all those words<S>1697</S> in the name<S>8034</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and ceased<S>5117</S>.


text:
And Nabal<S>5037</S> answered<S>6030</S> David<S>1732</S>'s servants<S>5650</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Who is David<S>1732</S>? and who is the son<S>1121</S> of Jesse<S>3448</S>? there are many<S>7231</S> servants<S>5650</S> now a days<S>3117</S> that break away<S>6555</S> every man<S>376</S> from<S>6440</S> his master<S>113</S>.


text:
Shall I then take<S>3947</S> my bread<S>3899</S>, and my water<S>4325</S>, and my flesh<S>2878</S> that I have killed<S>2873</S> for my shearers<S>1494</S>, and give<S>5414</S> it unto men<S>582</S>, whom I know not from where they be<S>3045</S>?


text:
So David<S>1732</S>'s young men<S>5288</S> turned<S>2015</S> their way<S>1870</S>, and went again<S>7725</S>, and came<S>935</S> and told<S>5046</S> him all those sayings<S>1697</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto his men<S>582</S>, Clothe you on<S>2296</S> every man<S>376</S> his sword<S>2719</S>. And they girded on<S>2296</S> every man<S>376</S> his sword<S>2719</S>; and David<S>1732</S> also girded on<S>2296</S> his sword<S>2719</S>: and there went up<S>5927</S> after<S>310</S> David<S>1732</S> about four<S>702</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>; and two hundred<S>3967</S> stayed<S>3427</S> by the baggage<S>3627</S>.

But one<S>259</S> of the young men<S>5288</S> told<S>5046</S> Abigail<S>26</S>, Nabal<S>5037</S>'s wife<S>802</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Behold<S>1732</S>, David sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> out of the wilderness<S>4057</S> to greet<S>1288</S> our master<S>113</S>; and he railed on them<S>5860</S>.


text:
But the men<S>582</S> were very<S>3966</S> good<S>2896</S> unto us<S>3637</S>, and we were not hurt, neither missed<S>6485</S> we any thing<S>3972</S>, as long as<S>3117</S> we were conversant<S>1980</S> with them<S>7704</S>, when we were in the fields:


text:
They were a wall<S>2346</S> unto us both by night<S>3915</S> and day<S>3119</S>, all the while<S>3117</S> we were with them keeping<S>7462</S> the sheep<S>6629</S>.


text:
Now therefore know<S>3045</S> and consider<S>7200</S> what you will do<S>6213</S>; for evil<S>7451</S> is determined<S>3615</S> against our master<S>113</S>, and against all his household<S>1004</S>: for he is such a son<S>1121</S> of Belial<S>1100</S>, that a man cannot speak to him<S>1696</S>.


text:
Then Abigail<S>26</S> made hurry<S>4116</S>, and took<S>3947</S> two hundred<S>3967</S> loaves<S>3899</S>, and two<S>8147</S> bottles<S>5035</S> of wine<S>3196</S>, and five<S>2568</S> sheep<S>6629</S> ready dressed<S>6213</S>, and five<S>2568</S> measures<S>5429</S> of parched<S>7039</S> corn<S>3967</S>, and an hundred clusters of raisins<S>6778</S>, and two hundred<S>3967</S> cakes<S>1690</S> of figs<S>7760</S>, and laid them on donkeys<S>2543</S>.


text:
And she said<S>559</S> unto her servants<S>5288</S>, Go on<S>5674</S> before<S>6440</S> me<S>935</S>; behold, I come after<S>310</S> you<S>5046</S>. But she told not her husband<S>376</S> Nabal<S>5037</S>.


text:
And it was so<S>7392</S>, as she rode on the donkey<S>2543</S>, that she came down<S>3381</S> by the covert<S>5643</S> of the hill<S>2022</S>, and<S>1732</S>, behold, David and his men<S>582</S> came down<S>3381</S> against<S>7125</S> her<S>6298</S>; and she met them.


text:
Now David<S>1732</S> had said<S>559</S>, Surely in vain<S>8267</S> have I kept<S>8104</S> all that this<S>2088</S> fellow has in the wilderness<S>4057</S>, so that nothing<S>3972</S> was missed<S>6485</S> of all that pertained unto him<S>7725</S>: and he has requited me evil<S>7451</S> for good<S>2896</S>.


text:
So<S>3541</S> and more<S>3254</S> also do<S>6213</S> God<S>430</S> unto the enemies<S>341</S> of David<S>1732</S>, if I leave<S>7604</S> of all that pertain to him by<S>5704</S> the morning<S>1242</S> light<S>216</S> any that urinates<S>8366</S> against the wall<S>7023</S>.


text:
And when Abigail<S>26</S> saw<S>7200</S> David<S>1732</S>, she hurried<S>4116</S>, and alighted off<S>3381</S> the donkey<S>2543</S>, and fell<S>5307</S> before<S>639</S> David<S>1732</S> on her face<S>6440</S>, and bowed<S>7812</S> herself to the ground<S>776</S>,


text:
And fell<S>5307</S> at his feet<S>7272</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Upon me<S>113</S>, my lord, upon me let this iniquity<S>5771</S> be<S>519</S>: and let your handmaid, I pray you<S>1696</S>, speak in your audience<S>241</S>, and hear<S>8085</S> the words<S>1697</S> of your handmaid<S>589</S>.


text:
Let<S>7760</S> not my lord<S>113</S>, I pray you<S>3820</S>, regard this man<S>376</S> of Belial<S>1100</S>, even Nabal<S>5037</S>: for as his name<S>8034</S> is<S>5037</S>, so is he; Nabal is his name<S>8034</S>, and wickedness<S>5039</S> is with him<S>519</S>: but I your handmaid saw<S>7200</S> not the young men<S>5288</S> of my lord<S>113</S>, whom you did send<S>7971</S>.


text:
Now therefore<S>113</S>, my lord, as the Lord<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, and as your soul<S>5315</S> lives<S>2416</S>, seeing the Lord<S>3068</S> has withholden<S>4513</S> you from coming<S>935</S> to shed blood<S>1818</S>, and from avenging<S>3467</S> yourself with your own hand<S>3027</S>, now let your enemies<S>341</S>, and they that seek<S>1245</S> evil<S>7451</S> to my lord<S>113</S>, be as Nabal<S>5037</S>.


text:
And now this blessing<S>1293</S> which your handmaid<S>8198</S> has brought<S>935</S> unto my lord<S>113</S>, let it even be given<S>5414</S> unto the young men<S>5288</S> that follow<S>1980</S> my lord<S>113</S>.


text:
I pray you<S>5375</S>, forgive the trespass<S>6588</S> of your handmaid<S>519</S>: for the Lord<S>3068</S> will certainly<S>6213</S> make<S>6213</S> my lord<S>113</S> a sure<S>539</S> house<S>1004</S>; because my lord<S>113</S> fights<S>3898</S> the battles<S>4421</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and evil<S>7451</S> has not been found<S>4672</S> in you all your days<S>3117</S>.


text:
Yet a man<S>120</S> is risen<S>6965</S> to pursue<S>7291</S> you<S>1245</S>, and to seek your soul<S>5315</S>: but the soul<S>5315</S> of my lord<S>113</S> shall be bound<S>6887</S> in the bundle<S>6872</S> of life<S>2416</S> with the Lord<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>; and the souls<S>5315</S> of your enemies<S>341</S>, them shall he sling out<S>7049</S>, as out of the middle<S>8432</S> of a sling<S>7050</S>.


text:
And it shall come to pass<S>3068</S>, when the Lord shall have done<S>6213</S> to my lord<S>113</S> according to all the good<S>2896</S> that he has spoken<S>1696</S> concerning you<S>6680</S>, and shall have appointed you ruler<S>5057</S> over Israel<S>3478</S>;


text:
That this shall be no grief<S>6330</S> unto you<S>4383</S>, nor offense of heart<S>3820</S> unto my lord<S>113</S>, either that you have shed<S>8210</S> blood<S>1818</S> without cause<S>2600</S>, or that my lord<S>113</S> has avenged<S>3467</S> himself<S>3068</S>: but when the Lord shall have dealt well<S>3190</S> with my lord<S>113</S>, then remember<S>2142</S> your handmaid<S>519</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Abigail<S>26</S>, Blessed<S>1288</S> be the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, which sent<S>7971</S> you this day<S>3117</S> to meet me<S>7125</S>:


text:
And blessed<S>1288</S> be your advice<S>2940</S>, and blessed<S>1288</S> be you<S>3607</S>, which have kept me this day<S>3117</S> from coming<S>935</S> to shed blood<S>1818</S>, and from avenging<S>3467</S> myself with my own hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
For in very deed<S>199</S>, as the Lord<S>3068</S> God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> lives<S>2416</S>, which has kept me back<S>4513</S> from hurting<S>7489</S> you<S>3884</S>, except you had hurried<S>4116</S> and come<S>935</S> to meet<S>7125</S> me<S>3498</S>, surely there had not been left unto Nabal<S>5037</S> by the morning<S>1242</S> light<S>216</S> any that urinates<S>8366</S> against the wall<S>7023</S>.


text:
So David<S>1732</S> received<S>3947</S> of her hand<S>3027</S> that which she had brought<S>935</S> him<S>559</S>, and said unto her<S>5927</S>, Go up in peace<S>7965</S> to your house<S>1004</S>; see<S>7200</S>, I have listened<S>8085</S> to your voice<S>6963</S>, and have granted<S>5375</S> your request<S>6440</S>.


text:
And Abigail<S>26</S> came<S>935</S> to Nabal<S>5037</S>; and<S>4960</S>, behold, he held a feast in his house<S>1004</S>, like the feast<S>4960</S> of a king<S>4428</S>; and Nabal<S>5037</S>'s heart<S>3820</S> was merry<S>2896</S> inside him<S>3966</S>, for he was very drunken<S>7910</S>: why she told<S>5046</S> him nothing<S>1697</S>, less<S>6996</S> or more<S>1419</S>, until the morning<S>1242</S> light<S>216</S>.


text:
But it came to pass in the morning<S>1242</S>, when the wine<S>3196</S> was gone out<S>3318</S> of Nabal<S>5037</S>, and his wife<S>802</S> had told<S>5046</S> him these things<S>1697</S>, that his heart<S>3820</S> died<S>4191</S> inside<S>7130</S> him<S>68</S>, and he became as a stone.


text:
And it came to pass about ten<S>6235</S> days<S>3117</S> after<S>3068</S>, that the Lord struck<S>5062</S> Nabal<S>5037</S>, that he died<S>4191</S>.


text:
And when David<S>1732</S> heard<S>8085</S> that Nabal<S>5037</S> was dead<S>4191</S>, he said<S>559</S>, Blessed<S>1288</S> be the Lord<S>3068</S>, that has pleaded<S>7378</S> the cause<S>7379</S> of my reproach<S>2781</S> from the hand<S>3027</S> of Nabal<S>5037</S>, and has kept<S>2820</S> his servant<S>5650</S> from evil<S>7451</S>: for the Lord<S>3068</S> has returned<S>7725</S> the wickedness<S>7451</S> of Nabal<S>5037</S> upon his own head<S>7218</S>. And David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> and arranged<S>1696</S> with Abigail<S>26</S>, to take<S>3947</S> her to him to wife<S>802</S>.


text:
And when the servants<S>5650</S> of David<S>1732</S> were come<S>935</S> to Abigail<S>26</S> to Carmel<S>3760</S>, they spoke<S>1696</S> unto her<S>559</S>, saying, David<S>1732</S> sent<S>7971</S> us unto you<S>3947</S>, to take you to him to wife<S>802</S>.


text:
And she arose<S>6965</S>, and bowed<S>7812</S> herself on her face<S>639</S> to the earth<S>776</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Behold<S>519</S>, let your handmaid be a servant<S>8198</S> to wash<S>7364</S> the feet<S>7272</S> of the servants<S>5650</S> of my lord<S>113</S>.


text:
And Abigail<S>26</S> hurried<S>4116</S>, and arose<S>6965</S>, and rode<S>7392</S> upon an donkey<S>2543</S>, with five<S>2568</S> damsels<S>5291</S> of hers that went<S>1980</S> after<S>7272</S> her<S>3212</S>; and she went after<S>310</S> the messengers<S>4397</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and became his wife<S>802</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> also took<S>3947</S> Ahinoam<S>293</S> of Jezreel<S>3157</S>; and they were also both<S>8147</S> of them his wives<S>802</S>.


text:
But Saul<S>7586</S> had given<S>5414</S> Michal<S>4324</S> his daughter<S>1323</S>, David<S>1732</S>'s wife<S>802</S>, to Phalti<S>6406</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Laish<S>3919</S>, which was of Gallim<S>1554</S>.


text:
And the Ziphites<S>2130</S> came<S>935</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S> to Gibeah<S>1390</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Does not David<S>1732</S> hide<S>5641</S> himself in the hill<S>1389</S> of Hachilah<S>2444</S>, which is before<S>6440</S> Jeshimon<S>3452</S>?


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and went down<S>3381</S> to the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Ziph<S>2128</S>, having three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> chosen<S>977</S> men<S>376</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> with him<S>1245</S>, to seek David<S>1732</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S> of Ziph<S>2128</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> pitched<S>2583</S> in the hill<S>1389</S> of Hachilah<S>2444</S>, which is before<S>6440</S> Jeshimon<S>3452</S>, by the way<S>1870</S>. But David<S>1732</S> lived<S>3427</S> in the wilderness<S>4057</S>, and he saw<S>7200</S> that Saul<S>7586</S> came<S>935</S> after<S>310</S> him into the wilderness<S>4057</S>.


text:
David<S>1732</S> therefore sent out<S>7971</S> spies<S>7270</S>, and understood<S>3045</S> that Saul<S>7586</S> was come<S>935</S> in very deed<S>3559</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and came<S>935</S> to the place<S>4725</S> where Saul<S>7586</S> had pitched<S>2583</S>: and David<S>1732</S> looked<S>7200</S> the place<S>4725</S> where Saul<S>7586</S> lay<S>7901</S>, and Abner<S>74</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ner<S>5369</S>, the captain<S>8269</S> of his army<S>6635</S>: and Saul<S>7586</S> lay<S>7901</S> in the trench<S>4570</S>, and the people<S>5971</S> pitched<S>2583</S> round about him<S>5439</S>.


text:
Then answered<S>6030</S> David<S>1732</S> and said<S>559</S> to Ahimelech<S>288</S> the Hittite<S>2850</S>, and to Abishai<S>52</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zeruiah<S>6870</S>, brother<S>251</S> to Joab<S>3097</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Who will go down<S>3381</S> with me to Saul<S>7586</S> to the camp<S>4264</S>? And Abishai<S>52</S> said<S>559</S>, I will go down with you<S>3381</S>.


text:
So David<S>1732</S> and Abishai<S>52</S> came<S>935</S> to the people<S>5971</S> by night<S>3915</S>: and<S>7586</S>, behold, Saul lay<S>7901</S> sleeping<S>3463</S> inside the trench<S>4570</S>, and his spear<S>2595</S> stuck<S>4600</S> in the ground<S>776</S> at his head rest<S>4763</S>: but Abner<S>74</S> and the people<S>5971</S> lay<S>7901</S> round about him<S>5439</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Abishai<S>52</S> to David<S>1732</S>, God<S>430</S> has delivered<S>5462</S> your enemy<S>341</S> into your hand<S>3027</S> this day<S>3117</S>: now therefore let me strike<S>5221</S> him<S>2595</S>, I pray you, with the spear even to the earth<S>776</S> at once<S>6471</S>, and I will not strike him the second time<S>8138</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Abishai<S>52</S>, Destroy<S>7843</S> him not<S>7971</S>: for who can stretch forth his hand<S>3027</S> against the Lord<S>3068</S>'s anointed<S>4899</S>, and be guiltless<S>5352</S>?


text:
David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> furthermore<S>3068</S>, As the Lord lives<S>2416</S>, the Lord<S>3068</S> shall strike<S>5062</S> him<S>3117</S>; or his day shall come<S>935</S> to die<S>4191</S>; or he shall descend<S>3381</S> into battle<S>4421</S>, and perish<S>5595</S>.


text:
The Lord<S>3068</S> forbid<S>2486</S> that I should stretch forth<S>7971</S> my hand<S>3027</S> against the Lord<S>3068</S>'s anointed<S>4899</S>: but<S>3947</S>, I pray you, take you now the spear<S>2595</S> that is at his head rest<S>4763</S>, and the jar<S>6835</S> of water<S>4325</S>, and let us go<S>3212</S>.


text:
So David<S>1732</S> took<S>3947</S> the spear<S>2595</S> and the jar<S>6835</S> of water<S>4325</S> from Saul<S>7586</S>'s head rest<S>7226</S>; and they went them away<S>3212</S>, and no man saw<S>7200</S> it<S>3045</S>, nor knew it<S>6974</S>, neither awaked: for they were all asleep<S>3463</S>; because a deep sleep<S>8639</S> from the Lord<S>3068</S> was fallen upon them<S>5307</S>.


text:
Then David<S>1732</S> went over<S>5674</S> to the other side<S>5676</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> on the top<S>7218</S> of an hill<S>2022</S> afar off<S>7350</S>; a great<S>7227</S> space being between them<S>4725</S>:


text:
And David<S>1732</S> cried<S>7121</S> to the people<S>5971</S>, and to Abner<S>74</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Ner<S>5369</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Answer<S>6030</S> you not<S>74</S>, Abner? Then Abner<S>74</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, Who are you that cry<S>7121</S> to the king<S>4428</S>?


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Abner<S>74</S>, Are not you a valiant man<S>376</S>? and who is like to you in Israel<S>3478</S>? why then have you not kept<S>8104</S> your lord<S>113</S> the king<S>4428</S>? for there came<S>935</S> one<S>259</S> of the people<S>5971</S> in to destroy<S>7843</S> the king<S>4428</S> your lord<S>113</S>.


text:
This thing<S>1697</S> is not good<S>2896</S> that you have done<S>6213</S>. As the Lord<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, you are worthy<S>1121</S> to die<S>4194</S>, because you have not kept<S>8104</S> your master<S>113</S>, the Lord<S>3068</S>'s anointed<S>4899</S>. And now see<S>7200</S> where the king<S>4428</S>'s spear<S>2595</S> is<S>6835</S>, and the jar of water<S>4325</S> that was at his head rest<S>4763</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> knew<S>5234</S> David<S>1732</S>'s voice<S>6963</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Is this your voice<S>6963</S>, my son<S>1121</S> David<S>1732</S>? And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, It is my voice<S>6963</S>, my lord<S>113</S>, O king<S>4428</S>.

And he said<S>559</S>, Why does my lord<S>113</S> thus pursue<S>7291</S> after<S>310</S> his servant<S>5650</S>? for what have I done<S>6213</S>? or what evil<S>7451</S> is in my hand<S>3027</S>?


text:
Now therefore<S>113</S>, I pray you, let my lord the king<S>4428</S> hear<S>8085</S> the words<S>1697</S> of his servant<S>5650</S>. If the Lord<S>3068</S> have stirred you up<S>5496</S> against me<S>7306</S>, let him accept an offering<S>4503</S>: but if they be the sons<S>1121</S> of men<S>120</S>, cursed<S>779</S> be they before<S>6440</S> the Lord<S>3068</S>; for they have driven<S>1644</S> me out this day<S>3117</S> from abiding<S>5596</S> in the inheritance<S>5159</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Go<S>3212</S>, serve<S>5647</S> other<S>312</S> gods<S>430</S>.


text:
Now therefore<S>1818</S>, let not my blood fall<S>5307</S> to the earth<S>776</S> before the face<S>6440</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>: for the king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> is come out<S>3318</S> to seek<S>1245</S> a<S>259</S> flea<S>6550</S>, as when one does hunt<S>7291</S> a partridge<S>7124</S> in the mountains<S>2022</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Saul<S>7586</S>, I have sinned<S>2398</S>: return<S>7725</S>, my son<S>1121</S> David<S>1732</S>: for I will no more do you harm<S>7489</S>, because my soul<S>5315</S> was precious<S>3365</S> in your eyes<S>5869</S> this day<S>3117</S>: behold<S>5528</S>, I have played the fool, and have erred<S>7686</S> exceedingly<S>7235</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, Behold the king<S>4428</S>'s spear<S>2595</S>! and let one<S>259</S> of the young men<S>5288</S> come over<S>5674</S> and fetch it<S>3947</S>.


text:
The Lord<S>3068</S> render<S>7725</S> to every man<S>376</S> his righteousness<S>6666</S> and his faithfulness<S>530</S>: for the Lord<S>3068</S> delivered<S>5414</S> you into my hand<S>3027</S> to day<S>3117</S>, but I would<S>14</S> not stretch forth<S>7971</S> my hand<S>3027</S> against the Lord<S>3068</S>'s anointed<S>4899</S>.


text:
And<S>5315</S>, behold, as your life was much set by<S>1431</S> this day<S>3117</S> in my eyes<S>5869</S>, so let my life<S>5315</S> be much set by<S>1431</S> in the eyes<S>5869</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, and let him deliver<S>5337</S> me out of all tribulation<S>6869</S>.


text:
Then Saul<S>7586</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, Blessed<S>1288</S> be you<S>1121</S>, my son David<S>1732</S>: you shall both do<S>6213</S> great<S>6213</S> things<S>3201</S>, and also shall still prevail<S>3201</S>. So David<S>1732</S> went<S>3212</S> on his way<S>1870</S>, and Saul<S>7586</S> returned<S>7725</S> to his place<S>4725</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> in his heart<S>3820</S>, I shall now perish<S>5595</S> one<S>259</S> day<S>3117</S> by the hand<S>3027</S> of Saul<S>7586</S>: there is nothing better<S>2896</S> for me than that<S>3588</S> I should speedily<S>4422</S> escape<S>4422</S> into the land<S>776</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>; and Saul<S>7586</S> shall despair<S>2976</S> of me<S>1245</S>, to seek me any more in any coast<S>1366</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>: so shall I escape<S>4422</S> out of his hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and he passed over<S>5674</S> with the six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> that were with him unto Achish<S>397</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Maoch<S>4582</S>, king<S>4428</S> of Gath<S>1661</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> lived<S>3427</S> with Achish<S>397</S> at Gath<S>1661</S>, he and his men<S>582</S>, every man<S>376</S> with his household<S>1004</S>, even David<S>1732</S> with his two<S>8147</S> wives<S>802</S>, Ahinoam<S>293</S> the Jezreelitess<S>3159</S>, and Abigail<S>26</S> the Carmelitess<S>3762</S>, Nabal<S>5037</S>'s wife<S>802</S>.


text:
And it was told<S>5046</S> Saul<S>7586</S> that David<S>1732</S> was fled<S>1272</S> to Gath<S>1661</S>: and he sought<S>1245</S> no more again for him<S>3254</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> unto Achish<S>397</S>, If I have now found<S>4672</S> grace<S>2580</S> in your eyes<S>5869</S>, let them give<S>5414</S> me a place<S>4725</S> in some<S>259</S> town<S>5892</S> in the country<S>7704</S>, that I may live<S>3427</S> there<S>5650</S>: for why should your servant live<S>3427</S> in the royal<S>4467</S> city with you<S>5892</S>?


text:
Then Achish<S>397</S> gave<S>5414</S> him Ziklag<S>6860</S> that day<S>3117</S>: that is why Ziklag<S>6860</S> pertains unto the kings<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And the time<S>4557</S> that David<S>1732</S> lived<S>3427</S> in the country<S>7704</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S> was a full year<S>3117</S> and four<S>702</S> months<S>2320</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> and his men<S>582</S> went up<S>5927</S>, and invaded<S>6584</S> the Geshurites<S>1651</S>, and the Gezrites<S>1511</S>, and the Amalekites<S>6003</S>: for those<S>2007</S> nations were of old<S>5769</S> the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of the land<S>776</S>, as you go<S>935</S> to Shur<S>7793</S>, even unto the land<S>776</S> of Egypt<S>4714</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> struck<S>5221</S> the land<S>776</S>, and left neither man<S>376</S> nor woman<S>802</S> alive<S>2421</S>, and took away<S>3947</S> the sheep<S>6629</S>, and the oxen<S>1241</S>, and the donkeys<S>2543</S>, and the camels<S>1581</S>, and the apparel<S>899</S>, and returned<S>7725</S>, and came<S>935</S> to Achish<S>397</S>.


text:
And Achish<S>397</S> said<S>559</S>, Where<S>408</S> have you made a raid<S>6584</S> to day<S>3117</S>? And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S>, Against the south<S>5045</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and against the south<S>5045</S> of the Jerahmeelites<S>3397</S>, and against the south<S>5045</S> of the Kenites<S>7017</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> saved<S>2421</S> neither man<S>376</S> nor woman<S>802</S> alive<S>2421</S>, to bring<S>935</S> tidings to Gath<S>1661</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Lest they should tell<S>5046</S> on us<S>559</S>, saying, So did<S>6213</S> David<S>1732</S>, and so will be his manner<S>4941</S> all the while<S>3117</S> he dwells<S>3427</S> in the country<S>7704</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>.


text:
And Achish<S>397</S> believed<S>539</S> David<S>1732</S>, saying<S>559</S>, He has made his people<S>5971</S> Israel<S>3478</S> utterly<S>887</S> to abhor<S>887</S> him<S>5650</S>; therefore he shall be my servant for ever<S>5769</S>.


text:
And it came to pass in those days<S>3117</S>, that the Philistines<S>6430</S> gathered<S>6908</S> their armies<S>4264</S> together<S>6908</S> for warfare<S>6635</S>, to fight<S>3898</S> with Israel<S>3478</S>. And Achish<S>397</S> said<S>559</S> unto David<S>1732</S>, Know<S>3045</S> you assuredly<S>3045</S>, that you shall go out<S>3318</S> with me to battle<S>4264</S>, you and your men<S>582</S>.


text:
And David<S>1732</S> said<S>559</S> to Achish<S>397</S>, Surely<S>3651</S> you shall know<S>3045</S> what your servant<S>5650</S> can do<S>6213</S>. And Achish<S>397</S> said<S>559</S> to David<S>1732</S>, Therefore will I make<S>7760</S> you keeper<S>8104</S> of my head<S>7218</S> for ever<S>3117</S>.


text:
Now Samuel<S>8050</S> was dead<S>4191</S>, and all Israel<S>3478</S> had lamented<S>5594</S> him<S>6912</S>, and buried him in Ramah<S>7414</S>, even in his own city<S>5892</S>. And Saul<S>7586</S> had put away<S>5493</S> those that had familiar spirits<S>178</S>, and the wizards<S>3049</S>, out of the land<S>776</S>.


text:
And the Philistines<S>6430</S> gathered themselves together<S>6908</S>, and came<S>935</S> and pitched<S>2583</S> in Shunem<S>7766</S>: and Saul<S>7586</S> gathered<S>6908</S> all Israel<S>3478</S> together<S>6908</S>, and they pitched<S>2583</S> in Gilboa<S>1533</S>.


text:
And when Saul<S>7586</S> saw<S>7200</S> the army<S>4264</S> of the Philistines<S>6430</S>, he was afraid<S>3372</S>, and his heart<S>3820</S> greatly<S>3966</S> trembled<S>2729</S>.


text:
And when Saul<S>7586</S> inquired<S>7592</S> of the Lord<S>3068</S>, the Lord<S>3068</S> answered<S>6030</S> him not<S>2472</S>, neither by dreams, nor by Urim<S>224</S>, nor by prophets<S>5030</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Saul<S>7586</S> unto his servants<S>5650</S>, Seek<S>1245</S> me a woman<S>802</S> that has<S>1172</S> a familiar spirit<S>178</S>, that I may go<S>3212</S> to her<S>1875</S>, and inquire of her<S>5650</S>. And his servants said<S>559</S> to him<S>802</S>, Behold, there is a woman that has<S>1172</S> a familiar spirit<S>178</S> at Endor<S>5874</S>.


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> disguised<S>2664</S> himself<S>3847</S>, and put on other<S>312</S> clothes<S>899</S>, and he went<S>3212</S>, and two<S>8147</S> men<S>582</S> with him<S>935</S>, and they came to the woman<S>802</S> by night<S>3915</S>: and he said<S>559</S>, I pray you<S>7080</S>, divine unto me by the familiar spirit<S>178</S>, and bring me him up<S>5927</S>, whom I shall name unto you<S>559</S>.


text:
And the woman<S>802</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>3045</S>, Behold, you know what Saul<S>7586</S> has done<S>6213</S>, how he has cut off<S>3772</S> those that have familiar spirits<S>178</S>, and the wizards<S>3049</S>, out of the land<S>776</S>: that is why then lay you a snare<S>5367</S> for my life<S>5315</S>, to cause me to die<S>4191</S>?


text:
And Saul<S>7586</S> swore<S>7650</S> to her by the Lord<S>3068</S>, saying<S>559</S>, As the Lord<S>3068</S> lives<S>2416</S>, there shall<S>518</S> no punishment<S>5771</S> happen<S>7136</S> to you for this thing<S>1697</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> the woman<S>802</S>, Whom shall I bring up<S>5927</S> unto you<S>559</S>? And he said, Bring me up<S>5927</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>.


text:
And when the woman<S>802</S> saw<S>7200</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>, she cried<S>2199</S> with a loud<S>1419</S> voice<S>6963</S>: and the woman<S>802</S> spoke<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, saying<S>559</S>, Why have you deceived<S>7411</S> me<S>7586</S>? for you are Saul.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto her<S>3372</S>, Be not afraid: for what saw<S>7200</S> you<S>802</S>? And the woman said<S>559</S> unto Saul<S>7586</S>, I saw<S>7200</S> gods<S>430</S> ascending<S>5927</S> out of the earth<S>776</S>.


text:
And he said<S>559</S> unto her<S>8389</S>, What form is he of<S>559</S>? And she said, An old<S>2205</S> man<S>376</S> comes up<S>5927</S>; and he is covered<S>5844</S> with a mantle<S>4598</S>. And Saul<S>7586</S> perceived<S>3045</S> that it was Samuel<S>8050</S>, and he stooped<S>6915</S> with his face<S>639</S> to the ground<S>776</S>, and bowed himself<S>7812</S>.


text:
And Samuel<S>8050</S> said<S>559</S> to Saul<S>7586</S>, Why have you troubled<S>7264</S> me<S>5927</S>, to bring me up? And Saul<S>7586</S> answered<S>559</S>, I am severe<S>3966</S> distressed<S>6887</S>; for the Philistines<S>6430</S> make war<S>3898</S> against me<S>430</S>, and God is departed<S>5493</S> from me<S>6030</S>, and answers me no more<S>3027</S>, neither by prophets<S>5030</S>, nor by dreams<S>2472</S>: therefore I have called<S>7121</S> you<S>3045</S>, that you may make known unto me what I shall do<S>6213</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Samuel<S>8050</S>, That is why then you ask<S>7592</S> of me<S>3068</S>, seeing the Lord is departed<S>5493</S> from you<S>6145</S>, and is become your enemy?


text:
And the Lord<S>3068</S> has done<S>6213</S> to him<S>1696</S>, as he spoke by me<S>3027</S>: for the Lord<S>3068</S> has tore<S>7167</S> the kingdom<S>4467</S> out of your hand<S>3027</S>, and given<S>5414</S> it to your neighbor<S>7453</S>, even to David<S>1732</S>:
